“It’s been a hit with visitors,” said Exhibit Director Peggy Dellinger. “On one level, it can be enjoyed for its colorful characters and law-defying life styles. But on another, it explores social and ethnic divisions and political
debates we’re still wrestling with today.”
The exhibit is in the Richmond Gallery through June 2019.
