An educational Smithsonian poster exhibition that explores how movement has impacted America will be on display at the University of Wyoming’s Coe Library beginning Monday, March 18. The “Journey Stories” exhibit is located on the main level of Coe Library across from the Student Innovation Center. It will be available to view through Friday, April 19. The exhibit highlights how human movement shaped the nation's demographics and cultural diversity.
According to the Smithsonian website, “it takes a broad look at American expansion and migration, from the earliest European settlers and Native American displacement, to the effects of transportation advancements on modern mobility.”
Organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with Teaching Tolerance, “Journey Stories” encourages engagement and dialogue in classrooms and communities about the impact of movement in America. The organization encourages others to share their story through the Stories from Main Street project. On the Museum on Main Street website, readers can find thousands of stories from people all over the country.
