 ong>\nFor hundreds of years people have sought a home and future in the Un
 ited States of America. They came\, and still come\, in pursuit of freedom
  and democracy. Yet\, the dream of democracy is not without its struggle. 
 Against the backdrop of World War II\, a segregated America\, and the Civi
 l Rights movement of the 1960&rsquo\;s\, ordinary people&mdash\;through th
 e decisions they made and actions they took&mdash\;extended democracy&rsqu
 o\;s reach for all.\n\n<strong><a href="http://www.ncdemocracy.org/node/10

 n based on the lives\, actions\, and decisions of a diverse group of indiv
 iduals who sought equal rights for their families and communities during W
 orld War II.\n\nAimed at middle and high school students\,&nbsp\;<strong>F
 IGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY</strong>&nbsp\;offers hands-on experience in explori
 ng about how women and minorities have expanded the meaning of "we" in "we
 \, the people."\n\nWhen visiting&nbsp\;<strong>FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY</str
 ong>\, teachers\, and group leaders facilitate their students' experience 
 in the exhibition space\, allowing educators to custom-tailor an education
