With presidential center’s opening fast approaching, Bush Institute’s Freedom Collection continues to growThis Dallas Morning News...
This Dallas Morning News article by Tom Benning takes a look at the expanding Freedom Collection after a visit by Burmese activists who added their stories to the collection of interviews with freedom advocates from around the world. “Zin Mar Aung sat down for an interview with Bush Institute officials in Dallas this week, adding to the 61 published videos that represent voices from across the globe. The collection has nearly doubled in size since it launched last March.” The Freedom Collection is a permanent archive of the struggle for human freedom and democracy around the world and strives to inspire and provide insight to the current generation of freedom advocates. It also preserves history as a tool for scholars, policy makers and students studying democratic movements.
