Mandela: The Journey to Ubuntu commemorates the life and legacy of former South African President Nelson Mandela through photographs by Matthew Willman who revisited many of the locations that played an important role in South Africa’s route to racial equality and President Mandela’s personal fight for freedom.

It’s been there at every moment – in war and peace, in the struggle for human rights, and in triumph and tragedy. Politically, it marches with us in protest, champions the American Dream, supports campaigns, and amplifies our voices when we demand change. It embraces those who are different and encourages other to do the same. Rock and roll is the voice of “us” – of people around the world who strive to be heard. It reflects our world or a call for it to change. The music speaks for us and with us, and ultimately is louder than words.

Using video, multimedia, photographs, periodicals and artifacts, this exhibit showcases the intersection between rock and politics. It will explore how artists exercise their First Amendment rights, challenge assumptions and beliefs, stimulate thought, and effect change.

Mini-Presidential Tour The Mini-Presidential Tour is docent-led and includes a tour of the Oval Office, the Life in the White House exhibit, and the current temporary exhibit. This tour will last 45 minutes.

Following the classroom activity, the students will find similar artifacts in the permanent exhibit Life in the White House. This docent-led tour also includes the Oval Office and the current temporary exhibit.

National Symbols Why is the bald eagle a national symbol of this great nation? Why are there 50 stars on the U.S. flag?
