Protesters Pressure MoMA to Boot Leon Black from Museum’s Board
The assembly outside MoMA also included Epstein survivors and members of We Are UltraViolet and the research initiative Time & Memory Project. Nicole Regalado, vice president of campaigns at We Are UltraViolet, told Hyperallergic, “By serving on MoMA’s board, whether it’s intentional or not, MoMA is helping to sanitize Leon Black’s reputation.”
Black became the chairman of MoMA’s board in 2018 and stepped down in 2021 amid a call for his removal by more than 150 artists, though he remained a trustee.

Prominent Group Demands Serious Pat McAfee Punishment Over Caitlin Clark Comment
UltraViolet, a community focused on combating sexism and promoting equality for women through advocacy, issued a stern statement on the matter.
“Coupled with McAfee’s pattern of promoting problematic falsehoods – including platforming Aaron Rodgers and allowing him to spread conspiracy theories about the coronavirus or Jeffrey Epstein – demonstrate that McAfee simply does not have the necessary judgment that sports fans deserve.
“Not only does McAfee deserve to be fired, but Disney needs to ensure that ESPN commits to a culture where commentators will no longer be allowed to spew sexist and racist remarks. That should be the minimum standard that sports fans should expect from their commentators and that ESPN and Disney should expect from their hosts. It is hard to ask for anything less when we recall that ESPN is the same network that suspended Jemele Hill for calling President Trump a white supremacist.”
