Spokane Valley Heritage Museum & The Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit

 


The Spokane Valley Heritage Museum (southside of Sprague just WEST of Pines Road), scored a big coup. They have a Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit going on right now through August 2nd. 

The exhibit is on work and the American worker. Divided into four parts: the way we work, where we work, why we work and how we work. Now that might sound dull but I assure you, the many B&W images alone are worth going to see. Please do go see for yourself; you'll not be sorry to have spent the effort and time.

Here are some quotes I gleaned from the exhibit:

The best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing. Theodore Roosevelt

We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vault of opportunity of this nation.  Martin Luther King

Nothing will work unless you do.  Maya Angelou

Every great invention takes a livelihood away from 50,000 men and within ten years creates a livelihood for half a million men. Mark Twain, 1888

Without ambition one starts nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. Ralph Waldo  Emerson
