The Whole World's Watching: Peace and Social Justice Movements of the 1960s and 1970s, a photographic exhibition, opened at the National Civil Rights Museum on November 12, 2004 with a lecture by Tom Hayden. The exhibition is a collection of documentary images accompanied by text tracing the rich history of America's peace and social justice movements during the 1960s and 1970s.
An anthology of political activism, the exhibition focuses on activities that arose in California’s Bay Area including the history of the Black Panthers, the Free Speech and anti-Vietnam war protests, the feminist movement, immigrant rights and farm workers movements, the struggle for disability and gay rights, environmental activism, and the Native American occupation of Alcatraz.
Twenty-nine eminent photographers including Stephen Shames, Michelle Vignues, Nacio Jan Brown, Robert Hsiang, and Jeffery Blankfort contributed to this collection of more than fifty images that define the distinctive cultural setting of the era. Accompanying essays credit both the widely known pioneers and lesser known participants in these movements for equality, justice and change.
The collection highlights individuals who, with valor and foresight, sought to change our nation. By examining the organizations and events that took place in
California during this turbulent period, The Whole World’s Watching provides vibrant displays and documentation of a dramatic era in U.S. history, and parallels Memphis social justice movements during the same time period.
As an additional benefit of the exhibition, the National Civil Rights Museum has assembled an informational brochure that documents the participation of Memphians in various local peace and social justice movements during the1960s and 1970s. The Whole World’s Watching exhibition is a great means to visually explore the local and national history of America’s peace and social justice Movements.
Guest speaker for the exhibition opening on November 12th will be former California state assemblyman and senator, Tom Hayden. Hayden is most remembered as one of the Chicago Seven in the controversial and unprecedented trial in which anti-war protestors were tried for un-American activities during the turbulent decade of the 1970s Hayden was formerly married to then, outspoken activist/actress, Jane Fonda.
The Whole World is Watching Exhibit runs through July 20, 2005.
