“Daring Through the Decades: First Ladies as Pioneers of Progress“

From the nation’s founding to today, First Ladies have stepped forward in moments of conflict, change, and challenge to shape the course of American history. Inspired by The Eras Exhibit: 250 Years of First Ladies Progress and Power, this program explores how First Ladies used their voices and influence to champion causes, guide the nation through war and world affairs, and open new pathways for progress at home and abroad.
