On Thursday, April 30th, three MLGSCA members and two MLIS students braved LA rush hour traffic and visited the Freedom Plane National Tour exhibit at USC’s Fisher Museum of Art.
“Freedom Plane” is a National Archives traveling exhibition bringing nine original Founding-era documents to eight U.S. cities in commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary. The Fisher Museum of Art at the University of Southern California (USC) is the only location in California to host this exhibit.
Some of the unique archives on display included an engraving of the Declaration of Independence from 1823, a copy of the Articles of Association from 1774 (a precursor to the Declaration of Independence), and the Treaty of Paris (the treaty that ended the Revolutionary War). With such interesting documents on display, we had to go in for a closer look.

After all that learning it was time to unwind. We headed over to the USC Village for some happy hour fun at Rock & Reilly’s. Although we were a small group, it was a great Thursday evening. By the end of the day we were so inspired by the revolutionary spirit, we just had to say FIGHT ON!
