“LESSON IN TOLERANCE
Civil Rights Group Sponsors Traveling Exhibit”
04/14/08

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A KKK robe. A mangled piece of the World Trade Center. A charred cross.

Ironically, these symbols of hate and intolerance are now being used to help teach acceptance and inclusiveness instead. They are part of the “Traveling Trunk,” an interactive exhibit sponsored by the East Tennessee Civil Rights Working Group, of which our Knoxville field office is a proud and active member.

The traveling exhibit is the brainchild of Gene Rosenberg, a member of the East Tennessee Civil Rights Working Group. Gene initially targeted middle school kids with the Trunk because he believes they’re at an age when they are susceptible to bullying others who are different. By letting students actually see and touch these items, Gene thought he could generate classroom discussions about the consequences of racial, religious, ethnic, and other kinds of persecution.”
