Implementation of a traveling exhibition with a catalog, a website, and public and school programs about how photographs and media images were used to influence attitudes toward racial equality and African American culture during the fight to achieve civil rights.

Organized by the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture (CADVC) in partnership with the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, For All The World To See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights represents the first comprehensive exhibition and publication to analyze the historical role played by visual images in shaping, influencing, and transforming the fight for civil rights in the United States. It will explore the ways this imagery represented race in order to perpetuate the status quo, stimulate dialogue, or change prevailing beliefs and attitudes. It will examine the extent to which the birth of the modern civil rights movement was coextensive with the birth of television and the rise of picture magazines and other forms of visual mass media, effectively capitalizing on the power of visual images to alter perceptions about race.

Oregon Historical Society will present a series of public programs to accompany the NEH On the Road Exhibit "For All the World to See". We will explore the concept of civil rights in Oregon through activities that reach out to diverse segments of the public. In association with the exhibit, we will organize a viewing of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech and facilitate a discussion about the speech, its effect, and how it is perceived today. We will also organize a Community Day open to adults and children alike that will invite further meaningful engagement with the exhibit, and a panel discussion will highlight civil rights milestones in Oregon. Visitors will also have opportunities to share their own experiences, stories, and perceptions about what civil rights mean to them. These public programs will educate the public about the ways Oregonians have worked to secure civil rights and place this in the wider context of America's history.
