A Place for All People: a Smithsonian traveling exhibit
Calendar Date:
Monday, May 1, 2017 (All day) to Wednesday, May 31, 2017 (All day)
Add to your calendar:
A Place for All People is a historic poster exhibit celebrating the opening of the newest Smithsonian museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture. A Place for All People is generously supported by the Smithsonian Institution's Office of the Provost.
Based on the Museum’s inaugural exhibitions exploring African American history, culture and community, the poster exhibit is accompanied by programming ideas and educational resources to help venues connect to the Museum’s opening events.
The African American story is one characterized by pain and glory, power and civility, enslavement and freedom. A Place for All People evokes the power of oration and freedom stories, the brilliance of artistic achievement, and the soaring heights of cultural expression, philosophy, sports, and politics. In addition to profiling the long struggle to create the Museum, the building’s architectural design and its prominent location on the National Mall, the poster exhibit is a survey of the African American community’s powerful, deep and lasting contributions to the American story. A Place for All People: Introducing the National Museum of African American History and Culture is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the museum.
A film festival of works directed by African-Americans in conjunction with the exhibit will be held in May. Every Thursday at 5:30pm, a film will be shown in the Reception Hall of the Community Center. Call 541-942-3828 for more details. Films listed below:
