Do You Know Your Lincoln?
Do You Know Your Lincoln?, a new exhibit features the extensive WRHS Lincoln collection. The special show runs through early 2011 and launches a series of exhibits, events, and programs at WRHS paying tribute to Abraham Lincoln and the American Civil War. This is in honor of the Bicentennial of the birth of Lincoln in 2009 and the Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War beginning in 2011.
The entire exhibit is drawn from the WRHS unusually rich Lincoln collections and will “test” the museum visitor’s knowledge of the history of America’s 16th President. It places the election of Lincoln in the larger context of the outbreak and public perception of the Civil War, and connects the President to the City of Cleveland.

A new multimedia exhibit at WRHS, Soul Soldiers: African Americans and the Vietnam Era, explores the issues, actions, reactions and expressions of life and culture of African Americans as they were impacted by Civil Rights and the war in Vietnam.
Soul Soldiers demonstrates that Vietnam was no isolated battleground; it was a crucible for African American soldiers’ emerging political and cultural consciousness. Stories are told through artifacts, photographs, art, an original documentary, oral histories and audio stations featuring 30 songs from the Vietnam era. The exhibit is particularly meaningful for WRHS in that it is our first venture into exploring the Vietnam War and its effect on our culture and society. Soul Soldiers was developed by Pittsburgh’s Senator John Heinz History Center and is generously sponsored by the African American Archives Auxiliary of WRHS. It runs through November 27, 2010.
