Description
In the 19th century, Harrisburg's Eighth Ward was an important stop on the Pennsylvania Underground Railroad but filled with "Wanted" posters. The ward was dismantled after the City Beautiful Movement. The 2024 Homecoming Jubilee for Democracy exhibition reinterpret the "Wanted" posters as a testimony to those change agents who inhabited and visited the Eighth Ward and to the amendments that created wider freedoms. The exhibition was set up in 2024 on the poles lining the south lawn of the Capitol Park.
