EVENTS & EXHIBITS

- “Countdown to Zero: Defeating Disease”
  Exhibit January 11, 2017-December 16, 2017
  Only one human disease, smallpox, has ever been eradicated. But soon a second infection will join the list: Guinea worm disease, a painful and debilitating condition caused by the Guinea worm—known to many as the “fiery serpent”. There is no medicine to cure Guinea worm disease and no vaccine to prevent it. Yet it can be stopped. This exhibition shows the heroic efforts throughout history to eradicate, eliminate, and control disease, including the Carter Center-led campaign to wipe out Guinea worm.

  In this groundbreaking history of the modern American metropolis, Rothstein explodes the myth that America’s cities came to be racially divided through de facto segregation. Rather, “The Color of Law” incontrovertibly makes clear that it was de jure segregation―the laws and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal governments―that actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day.
