We have recently developed two new small exhibits to complement our main touring exhibit. They will pair well with the original exhibit and we intend for them to be displayed concurrently at the same venue or at another venue nearby. Sharing the exhibits will allow for maximum local exposure to a greater audience. We will be eager to announce events featuring these new exhibits soon!
Learn about and preview these exciting new exhibits below:
My Lai: A Massacre Took 504 Souls, and Shook the World
For the first time ever, Army photographer Ronald L. Haeberle has given permission to create an exhibit featuring all nineteen of his color photographs of the My Lai Massacre. We present them here with his commentary and with tributes to the soldiers who intervened, investigated and exposed the horror of this "Search and Destroy" mission. My Lai was not the only massacre of innocent non-combatants by our armed forces in Vietnam. But through the publication of these photographs in November and December 1969, the world learned the horrifying truth about America's war in Vietnam. This exhibit consists of thirteen 40" x 46" panels that can be hung on the wall, suspended by wires, or displayed on easels.
Disssent and Resistance Within the Military
We display the Waging Peace in Vietnam exhibits on university campuses to encourage those who write and teach about the war to include the dissent and resistance of the soldiers, sailors, Marines and Air Force personnel who opposed the war in spite of the personal risk of violence or incarceration and the almost certain anger and alienation of their families. As the introductory panel of this new exhibit states, we hope the stories of the ten GIs in this exhibit will spark discussion and teaching about patriotism and the power of individual and collective dissent to make societal change. This exhibit consists of eleven 40" x 46" panels that can be hung on the wall, suspended by wires, or displayed on easels.
