(Brooklyn Historical Society; 128 Pierrepont St.; 10/02/2009; Adults: $6, Students 12 and over: $4, Children under 12: Free)
The Brooklyn Historical Society presents a thought inspiring exhibit featuring oral histories, portraits, and personal artifacts that explore the impact the Vietnam War had on the lives of Brooklyn and its diverse population from a first persons perspective.
“From portrait to portrait, from person to person, from personal narrative to personal narrative, a meta-narrative slowly emerges in which we empathize with the stories of the men and women who confront the chaos of an historical period, and share their, memories, and understanding of the history through which they lived.” (www.gonyc.com)
