Exhibit and events schedule

Currently touring, the Waging Peace in Vietnam exhibit informs scholars, students and the general public that as America escalated the number of troops engaged in the Vietnam War, thousands of our soldiers, sailors and pilots refused to fight, sail and fly more bombing missions. Active-duty soldiers and veterans had a profound effect on the antiwar movement, and on the war itself. 

Keep an eye out for when the exhibit comes to your city. It is often accompanied by panel discussions, film screenings, receptions, and other events.
