But\, as the first President of the United States\, he faced a different kind of battle: uniting the thirteen colonies. Debates over the ratification of the Constitution\, which would establish the government we know today\, divided the nation. In an effort to develop a sense of national unity\, Washington went on a tour through the colonies in 1790. Perhaps the most important stop- Rhode Island! The state’s hesitancy to ratify the Constitution demanded special attention from the Commander in Chief. \nInspired by Nathaniel Philbrick’s latest work\, “Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy\,” we invite you to explore George Washington’s 1790 visit to Rhode Island through the Rhode Island Historical Society’s collection of historical artifacts. \nOpening November 19th at the John Brown House Museum. Exhibition included in the price of admission. See the John Brown House Museum visitation page for open hours and admissions prices.

The exhibit will open on Thursday\, January 13\, 2022\, and will remain in the changing gallery through March.\nThe Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans and World War II poster exhibition traces the story of Japanese national and Japanese American incarceration during World War II and the people who survived it. Some 40 years later\, members of the Japanese American community led the nation to confront the wrong it had done—and urged Congress to make it right. \nBased on an original exhibition at the National Museum of American History\, the Righting a Wrong poster exhibition centers around eight core questions that encourage viewers to engage in a dialogue about how this happened and could it happen again. Embracing themes that are as relevant today as they were 75 years ago\, the poster exhibition brings forth themes of identity\, immigration\, prejudice\, civil rights\, courage\, and what it means to be an American. \nComplimenting the Smithsonian poster exhibit\, the Museum will also offer a short documentary\, musical reflections\, informational videos\, explanatory texts\, illustrative graphic novel panels\, a digital exhibit\, visual art\, and a book nook where visitors can learn about Japanese American experiences during this time period through classic children’s books. \nIn addition\, the Museum will host a variety of virtual programs over the course of the exhibit’s installation\, sponsored by the New England Japanese American Citizens League. These include: \nSunday\, January 23\, 1:00pm: “The Power of Objects”\nSmithsonian Museum Specialist and Righting a Wrong co-curator Noriko Sanefuji highlights the work being done to tell the story of Japanese American incarceration through artifacts.Individuals can register for the talk here: https://bit.ly/3yrn7t7 \nSaturday\, February 19\, 2022\, 1:00pm: “Day of Remembrance 2022: Executive Order 9066 and Its Legacies”\nKen Nomiyama (Tule Lake Committee) and Jim McIlwain (New England Japanese American Citizens League) will speak on the 80th Day of Remembrance\, discussing President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 and its consequences during World War II and today.
