The issues and challenges within schools and on college campuses often reflect the broader social challenges of the time. The Critical Moments exhibits seek to examine points in time as they relate to the challenges present in our educational tableaus.
Past and current Remember exhibits are listed here in chronological order.
Within the field of higher education, faculty and staff have been perpetually reminded that, while they are important to the life of an institution, students – both those enrolled and those who are college-seeking – are the priority. That message grew even louder this past year as universities waded into unchartered territory during the coronavirus pandemic.
Parts of this exhibition will continue the museum’s examination of activism and freedom seeking by exploring the violent response to activist movements. Additionally, it will look beyond activism to other manifestations of violence in education including gun violence, policing, sexual assault, hate crimes, and cultural oppression.
