Edit Request[edit]

very remote COI, but enough that I don't feel comfortable editing this directly. There is a lot of over citation from before the museum had a fully developed article. I also believe Massie’s civil rights impact advocacy and her cultural work on climate have been featured in a variety of print, radio, and television news outlets.
is promotional and could be removed, cites to the outlets can of course remain if relevant.
Suggest editing professional career section as follows, with cites 10-18 after "presentation of several exhibitions and special programs" be culled to the one or two most relevant since they're more closely tied with the museum than Massie and are present there.

Professional career After graduating from New York University School of Law in 1996, Massie moved to Detroit, Michigan to work as a civil rights impact litigator, being awarded professional honors including a Fletcher Foundation Fellowship and, at Harvard University, a W. E. B. Du Bois Institute Fellowship. Her lead counsel roles included the representation of the student intervenors in the University of Michigan Law School affirmative action case, Grutter v. Bollinger, which resulted in a 2003 Supreme Court decision. Massie moved back to New York City in 2007 to serve as a senior attorney in the environmental justice unit at New York Lawyers for the Public Interest (NYLPI), focusing on children's exposure to toxins in public schools. She became Legal Director at NYLPI, overseeing the firm's work in the areas of environmental, health, and disability equity and also served a period as NYLPI's Interim Executive Director. During her tenure at NYLPI, she was a Wasserstein Public Interest Fellow at Harvard Law School and a Mentor-in-Residence at Yale Law School.
Increasingly concerned about climate change, in 2014, Massie left her career as a lawyer to found the Climate Museum, where she is the current Director, and has overseen the presentation of several exhibitions and special programs. She is a Public Voices Fellow on the Climate Crisis with the OpEd Project and the Yale Program on Climate Communications, and speaks frequently on climate and culture. Massie’s civil rights impact advocacy and her cultural work on climate have been featured in a variety of print, radio, and television news outlets.
