Through the diverse perspectives of seven ordinary citizens whose lives and communities were forever changed by World War II, Fighting for Democracy: Who is the “We” in “We, the People”? asks visitors to think critically about freedom, history, and, ultimately, the ongoing struggle to live democratically in a diverse America.
The exhibition opened at the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy in Los Angeles in October, 2005 where it continues to educate and inspire students and visitors. A traveling version of the exhibition was created for a five-year, 10-city tour and was made possible with major support provided by the U.S. Army Center for Military History. The traveling exhibition has been made possible through the generous support of The Boeing Company.
