Daily Activities at With Liberty & Justice for All
While there are no scheduled activities today, be sure to see our complete activities listing for upcoming offerings.
This exhibit focuses upon four key transformative moments in the American quest for freedom: the Revolutionary Era, the Antislavery Movement and Civil War Era, the Woman’s Suffrage Movement, and the Civil Rights Movement. It highlights the people and iconic artifacts that were involved in those moments, and encourages you to consider the important debates and struggles. From the Rosa Parks Bus to George Washington’s humble camp cot and the rocking chair Abraham Lincoln was sitting in when he was assassinated, you'll journey through America’s fight for freedom and celebrate the courage to maintain it.
