In collaboration with the PGCMLS Workforce and Community Development Team and the Military Women's Memorial, "The Color of Freedom: Honoring the Diversity of America's Servicewomen" is a touring exhibit created by the Military Women's Memorial to shed light on the sacrifices and contributions of a selection of minority women who served in or alongside the U.S. Military throughout history.
The interactive display will include the stories of twenty-one servicewomen of color and bring to light the impact that these women made while serving in various branches of the U.S. military. QR codes will enable viewers to access a selection of oral history recordings which were digitized with the support of Iron Mountain Entertainment Services and Iron Mountain’s Living Legacy Initiative.
The exhibit is open during branch hours. Laurel Branch Library is open Monday 10 am-6 pm, Tuesday-Wednesday 12-8 pm, Thursday-Friday 10 am-6 pm, Saturday 10 am-5 pm, and Sunday 1-5pm.
