The Exhibition
The Henry Ford is uniquely positioned to tell the story of American freedom. These powerful stories - with their inspirational leaders and galvanizing moments - provide the compelling core and the framework for the exhibition. These stories will come alive through highly emotional, dramatic storytelling techniques.

These dramatic portrayals are punctuated by rare and iconic artifacts from the Museum's collections, including: one of the few surviving copies of the Declaration of Independence; George Washington's camp chest and bed; a hand-lettered copy of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution (which declares freedom for slaves); the chair in which Abraham Lincoln was sitting when he was assassinated; and the bus on which Rosa Parks was riding in December 1955, when she made her historic stand for civil rights. Hundreds of additional compelling artifacts from the Museum's collection will be highlighted in With Liberty and Justice for All.

Finally, the Henry Ford Museum invites visitors to become actively involved in the historical debates about American freedom through a series of highly interactive exhibit techniques. As they engage in the various historical debates, disagreements and struggles about freedom, visitors will come to realize not only that the meaning of American freedom has changed greatly over time, but also that they themselves can have strong opinions about it - perhaps even want to take their own action to effect change.
