In 2020, against the background of the nation's intersecting viral and racial crises, the museum created an outdoor display centered on the rights granted by the First Amendment. The project's centerpiece was a set of banners featuring civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer, complemented by a number of other inspirational civil rights-related quotes on the museum grounds. The content of the display, as well as related objects in the museum's collection, can be enjoyed on the companion website.
