The Haitian American Museum of Chicago (HAMOC) is proud to present another collaborative exhibit in partnership with the Waterloo Center for the Arts
On view, safely, at the museum!
This is an exhibit to remember the Haitian lives affected by the earthquakes, hurricanes and border crisis and to recognize the long road to recovery. We must keep our Haitian brothers and sisters in mind as the media transitions them out of the top stories.
