What is liberty? What is justice? These are two timely questions that concern most learned citizens. The Henry Ford Museum has created this online exhibit which explores ideas about independence, voting rights for women, and the civil rights movement. The online exhibit complements an in situ exhibit and visitors can view highlights from that exhibit, take a video tour, and read though a rich historical timeline, complete with key dates and artifacts. There are actually four timelines here, and each one contains several dozen documents, including the Mayflower Compact, the Bill of Rights, and a Klansmans Creed from 1922. Educators will appreciate the fact that the site also includes a set of resources for them, including lesson plans and classroom activities.
