There is a great exhibit at the St. Louis History Museum in Forest Park. It is running now through January. They have all the Pulitzer Prize winning photographs, since the award began in 1961.
Some of them are heart-wrenching, some are hear-warming, and some are just plain amazing. I laughed, I cried (which is nothing new), I was inspired.
There is a great video that is 19 minutes long at the back of the display...take the time to watch that.
Two bonuses...
1. They have an inner exhibition of all the famous St. Louis Post Dispatch photos (one of the ones from Ferguson was actually a Pulitzer winner)
2. They have this great display in the middle of the room, that I almost missed because I was so engrossed by the photos on the walls, for visually impaired visitors. They took some of the most famous Pulitzer photographs and added texture to them and there was a lot of explanation in Braille. I thought it was GREAT! Most people wouldn't think that a person with limited vision could enjoy an exhibit like this, but maybe they can.
Here are some photos of the displays for the visually impaired...if you look close, you can see the texture.
