Unfinished Revolutions Exhibit Opening
Spurlock Museum cordially invites you to celebrate the opening of our newest exhibit, "Unfinished Revolutions: Living Stories of American Rights” on Wednesday, April 1st. Stop by anytime between 5-8pm to explore the exhibit, enjoy light refreshments, and listen to protest music performed by Paul Kotheimer.
You can also become part of the exhibit with our zine making craft. Express yourself artistically in response to the themes and the pieces will be pulled together into a zine that will be placed on display as a formal part of the exhibit.
About the Exhibit: Unfinished Revolutions: Living Stories of American Rights explores the bold promises of liberty, equality, and justice the United States was founded on. But the path toward fulfilling those ideals has been anything but straightforward.
Our exhibit theme of unfinished revolutions explores the ongoing struggle to define and expand the meaning of freedom in America. From the Revolutionary era to today, individuals and communities have challenged injustice and demanded change—through protest and litigation, war and grassroots organizing, formal politics and everyday resistance.
As Coretta Scott King notes, “Struggle is a never-ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation.” So, we pass down our unfinished revolutions to the generations that come after us, while we continue to struggle and hope for a more just future.
We hope you can join us at the museum the evening of April 1st as we formally unveil this deeply relevant and timely exploration.
