The exhibit doesn't have much more to add on 9/11, but the twisted piece of an airplane said to be from the World Trade Centers packs a punch. The show is stronger when it goes back farther in time. It tells about the Ku Klux Klan marching in Washington, D.C. and even KKK business cards.
They also have a bulletin board to address current day events with articles about "Trump's border wall" and the racist Charleston killer, whose name I won't mention..
Some more photos accompanying the article:
** The robes worn by the KKK, including a red one and, even sadder, a kid's robe.
** A pike
** Equipment worn by an emergency services worker at the Oklahoma City bombing site.
The exhibit goes through October 1 and is included with the $16 general admission price The Chicago History Museum is at 1601 N. Clark Street
