Protest and Free Speech
Protest is an everyday aspect of democratic societies, and our collection includes a number of images documenting economic, cultural, and political conflicts. Ranging from efforts to secure women’s legal and voting rights in the 19th and early 20th centuries, to the African American Freedom Movement of the 1960s, these documents offer opportunities for visitors to consider the ways activists have justified their causes, and the reactions they drew from opponents.
