Unfinished Revolutions: Living Stories of American Rights explores our ongoing struggle to define, expand, and protect America’s promises of liberty, equality, and justice. The exhibit doesn’t tell a single story. It invites participants to contribute to telling this complex story from many interpretations and points of view.

If you’ve ever watched the summer Olympics, you’ve likely noticed the popularity of the track and field relay races. Relays involve teams of four runners; each charged with sprinting with the baton and successfully passing it to the next runner. While teammates hold the same responsibility and collective goal, the how and why of their individual roles may differ.

What if we used the metaphor of a relay team for Unfinished Revolutions? Instead of sprinting to the finish line for a track and field relay race, imagine you’re contributing to an unfinished revolution for liberty, equality, and justice.

• Who are you passing the baton to?
• What are you fighting for?
• How does it impact the success of the race?

The Spurlock Museum invites you to contribute to the Unfinished Revolutions exhibit by creatively responding to these prompts. You’ll create a page to be included in a special exhibit zine. (Zines, short for magazines, are small, handmade booklets often designed to share special interests or personal stories.) Your page, created on canvas, will be put on view in the exhibit and added to the exhibit zine.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to have your voice included in Unfinished Revolutions.
