Fighting for Democracy

Who is the "We" in "We, the People"?

Through the diverse perspectives of seven ordinary citizens whose lives and communities were forever changed by World War II, this exhibition asks visitors to think critically about freedom, history, and, ultimately, the ongoing struggle to live democratically in a diverse America.

Fighting For Democracy: Who is the “We” in “We, the People”? is presented by the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy, an educational program of the Japanese American National Museum, to advance the understanding of, and commitment to, American democratic ideals.

For more information about the exhibition and a listing of traveling venues, to explore an online version, or to download the accompanying Educator’s Resource Guide, visit ncdemocracy.org.

 

The original version of Fighting for Democracy opened at the National Center in October, 2005, and was made possible with major support provided by the U.S. Army Center for Military History. This version presents the stories in a self-guided format and has been made possible through the generous support of The Boeing Company and the U.S. Army Center for Military History.
