The People’s Bicentennial

June 11 at 9am

Burns Park

Step back from the fireworks and corporate fanfare to explore the forgotten side of America's 200th birthday. This exhibit unearths original artifacts from the People's Bicentennial Commission, a scrappy group that staged counter-celebrations and protests against the official 1976 commemoration. Drawn from the renowned Labadie Collection, these pamphlets, posters, and ephemera capture a moment when patriotism meant asking hard questions.
