Women of Valor Exhibit Opening

Please join us for the opening of the Illinois History and Lincoln Collection's exhibit, Women of Valor: Creating Sisterhoods in Central Illinois.

Jewish women in Central Illinois have been organizing for centuries. After uniting under the organizing arm of the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods in 1920s, these women ushered in a century of community building and activism. The exhibit showcases the ways these women shaped their communities through the stories from three different Central Illinois cities. Join us to view the exhibit and highlights from the collections. 

Refreshments and exhibit-themed coloring pages will be provided.
