Recent events have painfully reminded us that the HPLHS celebrates the works of an author whose opinions regarding race have no place in the modern world. We grapple constantly with the challenge of reconciling apprehensions about the man with appreciation for his artistic creations. We strive to recontextualize those creations for a new era. We fully agree that Black lives matter. We can’t change Lovecraft, but we can help change our world. We must evaluate the past unflinchingly, see the present honestly, and embrace changes to create a future that brings justice and equality to everyone. To pursue that change, the HPLHS is donating a portion of its profits to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Further, we’re redoubling our efforts to work with a diverse team of artists to ensure that the products we make are inclusive and welcoming to all.
