Freedom & Resistance, an insightful and challenging exhibit at the DuSable Museum of African American History, was dedicated to the thousands of unknown lives given in the name of freedom and equality. It was designed to take visitors on a journey through the African American experience addressing several key periods throughout history beginning at the Transatlantic Slave Trade and moving through the chattel slave system in the Americas.

The exhibit guided visitors through Reconstruction, the Great Migration and invited visitors to view the height of the Jim Crow era of racial segregation, followed by the complex, parallel tracks of the Civil Rights Movement and the Black Power Movement as they unfolded throughout the 1960s and 70s.

Visitors were taught about the achievements and setbacks of the 1980s and 90s before ending their experience at the dawn of the 21st Century as the country elected its first African American President. Magellan Corporation was proud and humbled to sponsor this informative and extremely moving exhibit.
