SUMMARY:"We Fight for Our Rights" Temporary Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:This new exhibit tells the story of the both the enslaved and free African-Americans who fought for freedom during the American Civil War and their impact on later contributions through the 20th century. The exhibit focuses on the USCT or United States Colored Troops who were formerly enslaved and free African-Americans who joined the Union Army in their fight to end slavery and preserve the Union. It is estimated that approximately 180\,000 men rose to join the fight in the ranks of the USCT. Their numbers amounted to ten percent of the Union Army which formed at least 166 regiments that would fight in 450 battle engagements. The ultimate Union victory paved the way for three amendments to the US Constitution. The 13th that abolished slavery\, the 14th gave African-Americans equal protection under the law\, and the 15th gave African-American men the right to vote. \nThe exhibit continues the African-American military post-war story by sharing the contributions and struggles of the Buffalo Soldiers of the Plains Wars\, the Harlem Hellfighters of World War I and the Tuskegee Airmen who took to the skies during World War II in a segregated United States military. Desegregation of the United States Armed Forces came in the form of Executive Order 9981 on July 26\, 1948. This opened further opportunities leading to females in expanded military service roles in the 1970s. A combination of artifacts\, images and prints will invite visitors to follow the road to freedom and beyond. \nThis special exhibit will be open through November of 2021 and included with regular daily admission.

SUMMARY:War in the Pacific Living History Event
DESCRIPTION:This living history event brings to life the experiences of fighting in the Pacific Theater and the home front during World War II. Guests will have the opportunity to learn from living historians portraying soldiers who fought in the Pacific Theater and about a number of different aspects of a soldier’s life to include weapons\, signals and communications\, and tactical demonstrations. Impressions will range from U.S. Army and Marines to those of British and Russian allies. Civilian living historians will portray goings on at the home front and USO activities stateside. Demonstrations will include medical\, cooking\, weapons and a military uniform and civilian fashion show. A special tactical demonstration will be performed on Saturday afternoon to illustrate the art of fire and maneuver. \nWorld War II\, which was fought between 1939 and 1945\, cost an estimated 85 million casualties both military and civilian worldwide. The United States military casualties amounted to 416\,800. While many were thankful for the surrender in Europe on May 8\, 1945 the war in the Pacific raged on and was far from over. The battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa during the first half of the year gave a glimpse of the carnage awaiting invasion forces set to strike the Japanese home islands. A planned Allied invasion on the island of Kyushu was set for November 1st. There 500\,000 Japanese troops were in position and another 6 million were under arms or able to be called into service. This invasion did not come to pass. The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki forced Imperial Japan to accept an unconditional surrender. The terms were accepted on August 14\, 1945 and a formal document signing ceremony took place aboard the U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2nd. \nAll event activities and programs are included with regular daily paid admission. \nSchedule: \nSaturday \n9:00 a.m.\nLiving History Camps Open to the Public\nBattlefield Center Field \n11:00 a.m. WWII Pacific Theater Weapons Demonstration\nLiving History Demonstration – Battlefield Center Field \n1:00 p.m. Uniform Talk\nLiving History Demonstration – Education Center Picnic Pavilion \n3:00 p.m. WWII Pacific Theater Weapons Demonstration\nLiving History Demonstration – Battlefield Center Field \n4:45 p.m. Living History Camps Closed to the Public\n5:00 p.m. Park Closes \nSunday \n9:00 a.m. Living History Camps Open to the Public\nBattlefield Center Field \n12:00 p.m. WWII Pacific Theater Weapons Demonstration\nLiving History Demonstration – Battlefield Center Field \n1:00 p.m. Living History Camps Closed to the Public \n2:00 – 2:45 p.m. Civil War Camp Life and Rifle Demonstration\nLiving History Demonstration – Military Encampment \n3:00 – 3:45 p.m. War So Terrible – Civil War combat film\nRunning time: 50 minutes – Battlefield Center \n5:00 pm\nPark Closes
