Exhibition Tour sponsors: Amazon | Iron Mountain About the exhibition: The "Color of Freedom: Honoring the Diversity of America's Servicewomen" will be on display at various locations across the U.S. The 40-foot-long traveling exhibition was created by the Military Women's Memorial with the goal of shedding light on the sacrifices and contributions of a selection of minority women who served in or alongside the U.S. Military throughout history. The interactive display will include the stories of twenty-one servicewomen of color and bring to light the impact that these women made while serving in various branches of the U.S. military. QR codes will enable viewers to access a selection of oral history recordings which were digitized with the support of Iron Mountain Entertainment Services and Iron Mountain’s Living Legacy Initiative.
