One of the newest and most
inspiring exhibits at the Henry Ford Museum, With Liberty and Justice for All, tells of
the trials, tribulations and triumphs of America's fight for freedom from the
Declarations of Independence through civil rights. Exhibits include rare and iconic artifacts
from the Museum’s collections, including one of the few surviving copies of
the Declaration of Independence, George Washington’s camp chest and bed, a
hand-lettered copy of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution declaring
freedom for slaves, the chair in which Abraham Lincoln was sitting when he
was assassinated, and the bus on which Rosa Parks was riding in December 1955 when she made her
historic stand for civil rights.
