Picturing America for Public Libraries

We have three programs/classes in conjunction with our displays. The revolutionary spirit display program was planned around the portrait of Paul Revere. It explored the period leading up to the Boston Tea Party, the ride of Paul Revere and the acts of rebellion that led to the making of a new nation. The second program was based on the American spirit and included the photograph of Dorothea Lange "Migrant Mother." The third and final program was based on connecting cultures and was based on the Native American nomadic tribe of the Mandan peoples.
