#ActivistNY exhibition (New York-ongoing)

In a town renowned for its in-your-face persona, citizens have banded together on issues as diverse as civil rights, wages, sexual orientation, and religious freedom. Using artifacts, photographs, audio and visual presentations, as well as interactive components that seek to tell the story of activism in the five boroughs past and present, Activist New York presents the passions and conflicts that underlie the city's history of agitation.

New Yorkers have repeatedly challenged the status quo, from responding to the city as a site of slavery, to fighting for the Gay Liberation movement, to advocating f

or racial justice as part of BlackLivesMatter.

There is an Activist New York experience online with additional original content and images of activism in the city today taken by New Yorkers like me 😊.
