Fifty years ago today, The Civil Rights Act of 1964, is signed into law by President Johnson. Initiated by John F. Kennedy a year before, the law prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Our exhibition Witness: Art and Civil Rights in the Sixties celebrates this anniversary by exploring the intersection of art making and activism in support of the struggle for racial equality during the sixties. In case you still haven’t had a chance to see it, you now have extra time! We’ve extended its run and it will now be up through July 13.Posted by Dalila Scruggs -- source link
