Quote: "Margaret C. Tellalian Kyrkostas — an anthropologist and curator who won a fight with the museum on Ellis Island to keep photos in an exhibition depicting the Ottoman Turks' Armenian massacre a century ago — has died.
She was 90.
Kyrkostas died Saturday at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset; the cause was complications from bladder cancer, according to her granddaughter Samantha Kyrkostas.
The longtime executive director of Queens College's Anthropology Museum of the People of New York, which she founded with the help of Margaret Mead, Kyrkostas made headlines in 1997 when management of the Ellis Island immigration museum told Kyrkostas that more than a dozen photographs of massacre that she had helped choose were too gruesome and inappropriate for children, according to The New York Times; she in turn accused the museum of whitewashing history.
