The traveling exhibit runs from Sept. 20, 2014 through December 31, 2014 and features a number of programs. AARP Members are also entitled to America’s Story: A Community Conversation with Award-Winning Journalist Maria Hinojosa on Sept. 22, 2014 at 7 p.m. The exhibit was developed by the American Anthropological Association and supported by the Ford Foundation and the National Science Foundation.

“This is an amazing exhibition that tackles an issue that is vitally important to our community and our country,” said Ed Nichols, CEO of History Colorado.  “It offers a powerful look at race and racism, and challenges visitors to talk about the issue and their own experiences.  We’re using this exhibit to create a broader platform to engage our community.  We want to open up dialogue and stimulate thought-provoking programming that extends well beyond the exhibit, and are very excited about AARP’s involvement.”
