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.
This exhibit is multivocal. The objects vary, and the people
interpreting and reflecting on them are diverse in view, experience,
expertise, and background. These ideas will weave through the text
created by many different contributors, interpreting objects from
Spurlock’s collections and across campus.
This exhibit runs from March 14 - Nov. 8,
and is open during museum hours:
Tuesdays 12-5pm
Wednesday - Friday 9am-5pm
Saturday 10am-4pm
Sunday 12pm-4pm
Closed Mondays and university holidays
Admission is free, but a $5 donation is suggested to
to support museum programming and initiatives.
