...ceremonial objects and carvings by Alaskan natives-the message being that traditional crafts have as much cultural importance as fine art. But it's the museum's most innovative display that best captures the region.

And this cosmopolitanism extended also to non-African peoples; Martin Luther King's engagement with Mahatma Gandhi is the most famous example.
