 Fighting for Democracy
Through January 18
UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures

"Fighting for Democracy" uses World War II as a framework to examine the concept of democracy and its relation to minorities. Presented in a multimedia narrative format, the exhibit chronicles the lives of seven ethnically diverse Americans during the World War II era. Their stories all point toward the thematic question of the exhibit: "Who is the 'we' in 'We the People'?" Fighting for Democracy is on loan by the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles. www.texancultures.com |
