Broken Promises: A Powerful New Gallery Experience
December 5
This December, step into a transformative new exhibition at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. Broken Promises: The Legacy of Reconstruction explores the critical yet often overlooked period following the Civil War—a time when hope surged, progress emerged, and betrayal struck.
Through immersive design, powerful visuals, and firsthand accounts, this gallery invites visitors to witness the courageous efforts of Black Americans to rebuild their lives and the systemic forces that undermined that progress. The legacies of Reconstruction are not behind us; they are all around us.
What to Expect
- Immersive storytelling and exhibit design
