The Kansas Children’s Discovery Center will host Picture the Dream: The Story of the Civil Rights Movement through Children’s Books in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision. Picture the Dream will open to the public on Friday, May 3 at 9 a.m. The exhibit delves into the events, people, and themes of the civil rights movement through children’s literature. The original exhibition was curated by award-winning children’s book author Andrea Davis Pinkney as a collaboration between the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia and The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, Massachusetts. The Kansas Children’s Discovery Center will host the exhibit in reproduction as a collection of compelling prints that evoke the power and continuing relevance of the era that shaped American history and continues to reverberate today.
