Coming this fall: a massive centennial exhibition centered on 1919, the year of our founding. A tumultuous time in our nation’s history, “Nineteen Nineteen” will tell the story of a year in which soldiers returned from World War I, African Americans faced violence during the “Red Summer,” women fought for the right to vote, and cripplingly high inflation sparked labor unrest. The show will feature approximately 275 objects from across The Huntington’s collections, each made, published, edited, exhibited, or acquired in 1919.
