The People’s Bicentennial

Burns Park

Step back from the official narrative. This exhibit pulls back the curtain on the 1976 bicentennial through the People's Bicentennial Commission, a grassroots movement that challenged corporate-sponsored patriotism with protest, parades, and pamphlets. Drawn from the renowned Labadie Collection of radical history, these artifacts offer a bracing counter-history just in time for America's 250th.
