National Portrait Gallery: The Struggle for Justice

The struggle in the U.S. for equal rights for women, African-Americans, Native Americans, the disabled, and gays and lesbians is the focus of the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery exhibition titled, "The Struggle for Justice". The online companion has some great features, including six video clips narrated by Soledad O'Brien, of CNN fame, that were created especially for the exhibit. Visitors can find the several minute video clips in the "Introduction" section. The "Gallery" section of the website has portraits of those people who were instrumental in fighting for justice in the various struggles for equal opportunity that are an integral part of United States history. Visitors can scroll over the numbers at the bottom of the "gallery" to see the names of all those in the portraits. A paragraph on their role accompanies the portrait. Those visitors interested in details about the portrait should click on the "C" found below the paragraph, to read the caption. A lesson plan that can be used in conjunction with the exhibition is also provided, along with related web links and a reading list.
