   The Anne Frank Tree
   In 2009, the Clinton Center, in partnership with the
   Sisterhood of Congregation B’nai Israel, was one of
   11 entities in the United States to receive a sapling
   taken from the actual chestnut tree outside Anne
   Frank’s Secret Annex where she and her family hid
   during World War II.

   The Anne Frank Tree Installation stands as a symbol
   of hope, endurance, and justice on the grounds of
   the Clinton Center. It consists of five framed, etched
   glass panels – arranged to evoke the feeling of being
   inside a room – surrounded by complementary
   natural landscaping. The two front panels feature
   quotes from Anne Frank and President Clinton. The
   three additional panels will convey the complex
   history of human rights in Arkansas through
   descriptions of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the
   internment of Japanese Americans during World
   War II, and the Little Rock Central High School
   desegregation crisis of 1957.

                      As part of the Clinton Center’s mission, we present unique temporary exhibits with
                      coordinating educational programs and events. Featuring a variety of historical
                      and cultural topics, our temporary exhibits offer educators and students engaging
                      learning experiences.

                      Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea
                      April 27-October 27, 2019
                      Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea is a family-friendly exhibit that features more than 20
                      giant sea life sculptures – made entirely of trash and debris collected from beaches. This
                      exhibit poignantly illustrates the toll trash takes on our oceans and waterways.

                      The incredible marine life sculptures are accompanied by educational signage allowing
                      visitors to learn about fascinating species, environmental stewardship, responsible
                      consumer habits, and how “every action counts” to help save our waterways.

                      The Washed Ashore exhibit is primarily displayed inside two of the Clinton Center’s
                      galleries. Visitors can see Eli the Eel, walk through the Reef at Risk, and play the
                      Styrofoam Drum Set. The exhibit opened to the public April 27, and a second phase
                      featuring additional sculptures opened in June. Priscilla the Parrot Fish, a 16-foot-long,
                      1,500-pound brightly-colored sculpture greets visitors from the water fountains located
                      outside the front doors. Washed Ashore is sponsored by the Regional Recycling & Waste
                      Reduction District, which promotes effective recycling to residential customers and
                      encourages strategies to reduce waste.

   … Like It’s 1999: American Pop Culture in the 1990s
   November 23, 2019-May 17, 2020

   “As if” anyone could forget the prosperous, golden, hopeful years of the 1990s! This fall,
   the Clinton Presidential Center is bringing back the decade that brought us blockbuster
   movies, must-see television shows, genre-changing music, iconic fashion, collectible
   toys, and the rise of PCs and the World Wide Web.

   This exhibit will feature an exciting and diverse display – from props and scripts to
   fashion and tech – that, together, will tell the story of popular culture in the United
   States at the end of the 20th century. You won’t want to miss Rose’s dress and Jack’s
   drawing portfolio from Titanic, scripts from The West Wing, a Garth Brooks guitar, and,
   of course, a collection of Beanie Babies that were sent to the Clinton family during the
   White House years.

   Throughout the exhibit, you’ll have the opportunity to play a variety of interactive games
   that focus on the era, including ’90s trivia, Pogs, a giant crossword puzzle with ’90s clues,
   and a ’90s-style video game!

   At the Clinton Center, we’ll “never let go” of the 1990s, and we invite you to join us in
   taking a trip down memory lane with …Like It’s 1999: American Popular Culture in the
   1990s!

   Fusion: Arts + Humanities Arkansas
   The Mighty Mississippi: The HeART and Soul of the Southern Delta
   December 2019-March 2020

   In 2020, we will continue exploring The Mighty Mississippi through our Fusion: Arts +
   Humanities Arkansas program.

   The HeART and Soul of the Southern Delta will present art and culture from the last 120
   years with roots in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The exhibit will feature music
   from the Southern Delta and a selection of visual art that embodies the varied cultural
   experiences of the Delta – daily life, work, play, poverty, sharecropping, faith, and more.

                                                                                                                                  5

   read Thank You, Omu! by Oge Moral. Thank You, Omu! tells the story of a generous
   elderly woman who makes a fantastic pot of thick red stew. The scent from her stew
   travels all throughout her neighborhood and brings her community members over
   to her home for a taste. By the end, she shares a lovely feast with her neighbors
   where everyone contributes to the meal. Each student who participates will receive
   a copy of Thank You, Omu!, available in both English and Spanish.
   Too Small to Fail, an initiative of the Clinton Foundation, is leading a public

                                        Hold These Truths is a single-performer play that explores the horrors of Japanese
                                        internment. The play is particularly impactful as it shows its main character —
                                        from the time he was a boy memorizing the Constitution and the Declaration of
                                        Independence to the time he is an old man — refusing to give up “life, liberty and
                                        the pursuit of happiness.”
                                        The “playwright Jeanne Sakata uses the true story of Gordon Hirabayashi to
                                        illuminate one of the most heinous stories in America’s history. In 1941, driven by
                                        anger, fear, and desire for revenge for Pearl Harbor, the American government
                                        rounded up over 120,000 American citizens of Japanese descent and held them in
                                        detainment camps.”

                      conservation.
