Call for Artists!
The First Amendment Museum is mounting an exhibit and you’re invited to submit a work of art depicting a young person from history who has used their First Amendment rights to make a difference in our country.
Here, along with a linked brief description, is a list of some young people you might consider portraying. You could also do research to find a different person if you wish.
To see what we have already received, check out our “First Amendment Heroes Illustrated” page.
You could create a portrait of the person, or illustrate the story of their journey to success, or depict the change in our country as a result of their actions. Any style or medium will be accepted. Make sure to find at least one additional source of information and make sure to tell us what source(s) you referenced.
