The afternoon includes storytelling by author Yona Zeldis McDonough and folk artist Malcah Zeldis, concerts by the Georgia Tech Glee Club and the a cappella trio Ulali, a dance performance and workshop by Prachi Dalal, stamp designing, craft activities, and a scavenger hunt. In a blast from the past, Clara Barton shares her adventures as founder of the American Red Cross and as a Civil War nurse in the Reynolds Center’s historic building.

This is the second feature event in the Smithsonian Heritage Month 2009 family-day series, sponsored by Target. The theme is “Living in Many Worlds,” which explores the dynamic intersection of family, history, and cultural identity.

Participants: National Portrait Gallery, National Postal Museum, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Smithsonian Center for Education and Museum Studies
