The Long Road to Liberty—250 Years of Civil Rights in America with Seth Kaller
Go behind the scenes of The Promise of Liberty with Seth Kaller, curator and special advisor, as he takes you inside the stories behind the documents that changed the world with an informative conversation on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at 6 p.m. in the Giant Screen Theater.
Seth Kaller will discuss how the centerpiece exhibition for the Peoria Riverfront Museum's celebration of America 250 came to be through documents written by civil rights leaders such as Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These objects in The Promise of Liberty tell the story of our nation and the road we still travel toward the liberty promised by our founding fathers. Museum board member Aaron Kilgore will moderate the discussion.
