Chicago’s Terra Foundation Embraces DEI

I haven’t written about my Chicago visit last month, which involved the festive National Review Institute gala as well as museum visits, especially to the always rewarding Art Institute of Chicago. I’ll review its new exhibition of French 18th-century paintings later on. Since I still have Chicago on my mind, I’ll write today about the Terra Foundation, which is based in Chicago and one of the tiny number of foundations specializing in American art.

Off and on I’ve written about rich foundations such as the Ford and the Mellon Foundations that embrace the toxic ideology based on “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” or DEI. It’s a sweet name for race-baiting and tagging people as either oppressors or victims. It draws from a perversion of history and contempt for American values.
