This exhibit brings together original materials from the People’s Bicentennial Commission, a grassroots movement that pushed back against the mainstream narrative surrounding the nation’s bicentennial celebration. Featuring items from the Joseph A. Labadie Collection, the display offers a look at how activists and organizers used protest, print culture, and public history to challenge ideas of patriotism and democracy.
