The Enemy Within: Terror in America 1776 to Today
February 19 – August 6, 2006
From the Revolutionary War to the War on Terrorism, this exhibition uncovers the forgotten stories of domestic terrorists and foreign agents, militant radicals and saboteurs who have threatened America’s sense of security over the past 200 years. Through interactive exhibits, thought-provoking films, and guest polling, THE ENEMY WITHIN explores nine major events and periods in U.S. History when America felt threatened by enemies within its borders. With each major event, guests track the terror as it happened, witness how the government and public responded, and examine the challenge of securing the nation without compromising the civil liberties upon which it was founded. Included with admission to the Memorial Museum.
