Global conflict, protests, political unrest - you'd be surprised at the similarities between the 1976 Bicentennial Celebration and America's 250th. The exhibit in our archives focuses on looking back at the American Revolutionary period within the context of the present.

[UConn Library @uconnlibrary]

Join us tomorrow for our exhibit reception! Joe Duffey, a coal miner's son, ran for Senate in 1970 with a message that resonated widely, particularly on campuses. His campaign materials are on display in the Richard H. Schimmelpfeng Gallery. May 5, 5-7 pm, Dodd Center
