During the Civil War Missouri was a state divided, suffering from a fractured identity and caught up in a struggle of no quarter between its battling factions. That violent period of near-anarchy is examined in the traveling exhibit A State Divided: The Civil War in Missouri, a joint effort of the Missouri Humanities Council and the Missouri History Museum.
This colorful and informative exhibit follows the “bushwhackers” and “Jayhawkers” whose bitter enmity continues to color the relations between Missourians and Kansans.

Fred Geary (1894-1955) attended the Kansas City Art Institute and worked as a commercial artist for the Fred Harvey Company in Union Station. Geary became caught up in the wood engraving movement that became popular in the U.S. in the 1930s and in his spare time produced exquisite depictions of small-town life and Missouri landscapes and landmarks.
Easily and cheaply reproduced, woodcuts put art into the hands of working-class Americans.

The shift from old-fashioned paper ballots to electronic voting has raised concerns over whether elections results can be manipulated. Are our votes still safe?
Members of the Kansas City Board of Election Commissioners provide a behind-the-scenes look at how votes are kept safe and confidential. Demonstrations will illustrate the differences between touch screen and paper ballot machines and the safeguards of each that keep votes secure.
This is one of a series of public forums on elections presented by the KCEB and the Library this spring and summer.
