This can be demonstrated in exhibits. It is no accident that the United States of America was founded. settled. and developed by those from all over the world who sought freedom to worship as they pleased. to live as they wished. who thirsted for new worlds to explore and conquer. who searched for new sources of wealth. for a better life. The contributions to freedom and our countrys welfare made by the successive waves of immigrantsthe Germans of 1848. the Irish. the Jews. the Negro slaves. and even the indentured servants and the contract and coolie laborerswhether they came willingly or not. should be the source of a display. What they did to settle the prairie. to build our railroads. dig our mines. build our factories and develop our great universitiesall should be shown. Of course. exhibits should show how we have moved toward human equality from the Emancipation Proclamation to the many laws against discrimination in employment. education. housing. and places of public accommodation.
