A member of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, the My Lai Memorial Traveling Exhibit creates a space for dialogue to navigate a contested history, to pose questions about the human costs of war, and to commit to peace and social justice both at home and abroad.

For more information about the exhibit, visit libguides.asu.edu/MyLai or email Nancy Dallett at nancy.dallett@asu.edu.

Free and open to the public, the My Lai Memorial Traveling Exhibit is co-sponsored by the ASU Library, the Center on the Future of Warthe Office for Veteran and Military Academic Engagement and the Phoenix chapter of Veterans for Peace.
