Activist groups assembled outside the Museum of Modern Art in New York on Monday, demanding that the institution remove billionaire Leon Black from its board of trustees over his longstanding ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, more than two dozen people took part in the action, organised by the feminist campaign We Are UltraViolet and its Epstein Accountability Project alongside the Time & Memory Project and a mobile Epstein-Trump Reading Room created by the Institute for Primary Facts. Black, a private equity magnate, has faced multiple rape allegations, all of which he denies, and none have resulted in a conviction. The campaigners point to his documented connections to Epstein: the released Justice Department 'Epstein Files' mention him over 8,500 times. The mobile reading room installation, which tours the United States free of charge, displays a timeline of President Trump's relationship with Epstein as well as thousands of bound volumes containing the released files. Nicole Regalado, vice president of campaigns at We Are UltraViolet, told the publication that MoMA is effectively helping to 'sanitize' Black's reputation by keeping him in a trustee position, whether or not that is the institution's intention. She argued that trustees wield real influence over which artists are celebrated and whose stories reach the millions of visitors, including children, who pass through the museum each year. Regalado added that an accused sexual predator with documented links to Epstein's criminal network should not hold that kind of power over the shaping of public culture. The protest adds to mounting pressure on major cultural institutions to examine the backgrounds of the donors and financiers who sit on their boards, a debate that has gathered force as more details about Epstein's relationships with the wealthy and powerful have emerged.
