This two-year grant will support the upgrade and reinstallation of the museum's main permanent exhibition, Audacious Freedom: African Americans in Philadelphia 1776–1876. Responding to students' educational needs and expressed visitor interests, the exhibit's “Conversations” gallery will be reconfigured to connect the story of 19thcentury activism to the present day, covering the lives and legacies of African Americans in Philadelphia and the surrounding region through the 20th and 21st centuries.
