 g>\nFor hundreds of years people have sought a home and future in the Unit
 ed States of America. They came\, and still come\, in pursuit of freedom a
 nd democracy. Yet\, the dream of democracy is not without its struggle. Ag
 ainst the backdrop of World War II\, a segregated America\, and the Civil 
 Rights movement of the 1960&rsquo\;s\, ordinary people&mdash\;through the 
 decisions they made and actions they took&mdash\;extended democracy&rsquo\
 ;s reach for all.\n\n<strong><a href="http://www.ncdemocracy.org/node/1097
 ">FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY</a></strong> is an experiential exhibition based 
 on the lives\, actions\, and decisions of a diverse group of individuals w
 ho sought equal rights for their families and communities during World War
  II.\n\nAimed at middle and high school students\,&nbsp\;<strong>FIGHTING 
 FOR DEMOCRACY</strong>&nbsp\;offers hands-on experience in exploring about
  how women and minorities have expanded the meaning of "we" in "we\, the p
 eople."\n\nWhen visiting&nbsp\;<strong>FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY</strong>\, t
 eachers\, and group leaders facilitate their students' experience in the e
 xhibition space\, allowing educators to custom-tailor an educational focus
  to meet their curricular goals and to deepen their students' understandin
 g of democracy.\n\nBefore bringing student groups to&nbsp\;<strong>FIGHTIN
