VIRTUAL EXHIBITS

Color of Freedom

THE COLOR OF FREEDOM: HONORING THE DIVERSITY OF AMERICA’S SERVICEWOMEN

Born during a time when our country seeks healing amid persistent calls to dismantle systemic racism, this exhibit seeks to highlight the diversity of women of color in the nation’s defense. 

NURSES IN THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR

This virtual exhibit illustrates the vital role of contract nurses in the Spanish-American War. These nurses laid the groundwork for the creation of the Army Nurse Corps which later paved the way for the full participation of servicewomen in the nation’s defense.

The Changing Face of Courage

THE CHANGING FACE OF COURAGE

The Changing Face of Courage is a collection of watercolor paintings produced by artist Dave Rappaport that portray contemporary women serving in the U.S. military. Based on subjects found in photographs taken almost entirely from public domain sources, the portraits depict servicewomen working in a wide variety of occupations—from medic to aviator to mechanic.
