Going Beyond What Movements are ‘Against’ to What They are ‘For’
Freedom Dreams Freedom Now asks the following questions: What language
do we have that reflects the kind of world we want to live in? Is there a rubric
under which “a” movement can rally today? What are the components of a
shared analysis of this moment, what is needed, what is possible and how?
What are new slogans, texts, terms that help us forge a collective analysis?
What are the freedom dreams of this generation of activists?
Freedom Dreams Freedom Now is an intergenerational gathering of scholars,
artists and activists commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Freedom Summer
1964 and mapping the landscape of contemporary social justice work.
We will engage in political and analytical quilting to connect different debates,
communities and movements.

History Essay
Museum Exhibit Analysis.
Introduction:
In his book
A different mirror: a history of multicultural America
, Professor Ronald Takaki challenges the Master Narrative of American History, the “powerful and popular but inaccurate story” declaring that “our country was settled by European immigrants, and Americans are white.” In his work, Professor Takaki highlighted the hopes and struggles of immigrant men and women working and living in America, dispelling the many negative stereotypes marginalized as the “Other.”
Objective:
The goal of this assignment is to identify how the official history is represented in repositories of human civilization, spaces that are also known as museums. Pay particular attention to the spatial management of the exhibit, the order in which the artifacts are displayed, and how they present the participation of certain groups of individuals in the official history. Your paper should be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman size 12.
For this assignment, please read the following pieces. These articles will provide you with the necessary context to execute this particular assignment. Both articles are posted on the course website.

Instructions for Writing the Essay:
As you begin to write your paper, please reflect on what you observed in the exhibit and compose a 4-6-page paper that summarizes, critiques and applies the exhibit to the overarching theme of the course, the Master Narrative of American History. Does the exhibit challenge this notion, or does it affirm it? Further, please address the following questions in your essay.
Primary theme and subthemes of the exhibit: What information is the exhibit attempting to convey? What kind of story is being presented?
How was the use of space representative of the exhibit?
What is so particular about the order of the artifacts being displayed?
How are historically disadvantaged groups represented in the exhibit?
How are identities, i. e., ethnicity, gender, sexuality addressed in the exhibit?
How is the exhibit presenting these different intersections, if at all?
Multimedia tools: are there any videos/films, digitalized diagrams, maps, computer
kiosks incorporated into the exhibit?
If you had the opportunity to talk to the curator of the exhibit, what questions would
you ask him/her?
