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.
