1. Museum of past and present
Some situations are hard to see
We are the minority
We are the ones who built this city
Interact with the art
Where do you come from?
As you walk through the museum there will be a map of the world displayed across the wall. There will be push-pins available for the public to mark on the map where they were born. This piece will help envision all the different people that are surrounding them in that very moment.
This museum is not just to view artworks but it’s also an experience. You discover this immediately. As soon as you walk through the doors there is a piece of art. There are many comical shaped people running at you. This piece of art is an attempt at getting people to understand the difficulty experienced by multiple people for different reasons. There is no description of a challenge that the running figures are undergoing. It’s simply suppose to overwhelm and get you thinking.

2. Where to find us: What does America stand for?
How does Americas past still affect us?
Let America be America again
“There’s never been equality for me, Nor freedom in this “homeland of the free”
Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?
And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?
I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart,
I am the Negro bearing slavery’s scars.
I am the red man driven from the land,
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek-
And finding only the same old stupid plan
Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.”
-Langston Hughes
You will find this poem displayed across several walls in a single room. The stanzas of the poem have been distributed to different faceless painting of humans along the walls. These humans are all different colors, which represent the different races. This set up helps visualize the story that the poem is trying to get across.
These questions are the highlight of this museum. Upon entering the museum you are handed a piece of paper that asks you to think about the current knowledge you have on events that have happened in the U.S that still affect you or someone you know. Why?
The reason for this is that towards the end of the museum there is a room that you have to go through. In this room there are different testimonials of people being displayed on the walls about events that not only affected them but their whole race.
Looking back on the knowledge you were asked to think about. The hope is that you realize there are many different people and just as many daily struggles. It allows you to experience and hear about struggles you are currently going through or maybe inform you about struggles you hadn’t imagined at all.
Where to find us:
Freedom, Responsibility, and Justice
Our Freedoms and Rights
According to President Roosevelt these are the universals of human life:
1.) The RIGHT to work, usefully and creatively; through the productive years;
2.) The RIGHT to come and go, to speak or be silent, free from the spying's of secret political police
3.) The RIGHT to education, for work, for citizenship and for personal growth and happiness
…….
There is a wall along a hallway that has a picture of the American flag stretched across it. Above the flag there are two simple questions: What is freedom? And What are the responsibilities that come with it?
The public is encouraged to take the star shaped sticky notes provided and post their answers on the wall.
There is worldwide disagreement about these questions and being able to see all the different answers, hopefully will encourage people to see different views about what they hope it can someday mean.
