In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re displaying a series of pop-up exhibits. These free-standing, informational banners are part of AAMI’s traveling exhibit collection and are available to rent throughout the year.

Iowa Civils Rights explores the struggles and triumphs of the fight for equal rights. Featured individuals include Alexander Clark, the man who helped desegregate Iowa schools in 1868, and Edna Griffin, the woman who led sit-ins at the Katz Drugstore in Des Moines in 1948.
