Opening Event: The Color of Freedom Exhibition
(Special Event)
Join University Libraries and the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets for the opening of the Military Women's Memorial's special traveling exhibition "The Color of Freedom: Honoring the Diversity of America's Servicewomen."
Special guests will give remarks, and the exhibition will formally open to the public. "The Color of Freedom" offers a unique opportunity to celebrate Black History Month and the 100th anniversary of women students at Virginia Tech.
Visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the contributions of military women of color who have served throughout American history. The exhibition includes the stories of military servicewomen of color along with QR codes to access oral histories that provide firsthand accounts of select servicewomen featured in the exhibit.
The exhibition's goal is to build awareness of the sacrifices of women from diverse backgrounds who forged a path for women of all backgrounds to serve in and with the U.S. military.
"Color of Freedom" will be on display through Feb. 28 on the library's fourth floor, across from the Corps of Cadets Museum space.
