LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (March 5, 2025) – On Tuesday, March 10, the Clinton Presidential Center will debut its newest temporary exhibit, “Making Amends.” It explores America’s progress toward a “more perfect union” through the history of all 27 Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Serving as a source of shared values that has endured the Civil War and times of deep division, the Constitution has become ever more inclusive of “We the People.”
This new exhibit features rare artifacts and the remarkable human stories of the struggles to improve our nation’s founding document.
Making Amends takes visitors on a journey through those amendments – through the past two and a half centuries of America – and helps them discover their role in propelling American democracy forward.
For a limited time, between March 10 and April 12, 2026, visitors will also see original versions of Constitutional amendments and documents related to consequential moments in American history. This special collection from the National Archives includes:
- The Treaty of Paris (1782)
- Original Design of the Great Seal of the United States (1782)
- First 12 Proposed Constitutional Amendments Sent to States for Ratification (1789)
- Joint Resolution Proposing the 13th Amendment (1865)
- Senate resolution Proposing the 14th Amendment (1866)
- Plessey v Ferguson U.S. Supreme Court Decision (1896)
- Brown v Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas U.S. Supreme Court Decision (1954)
- Eisenhower Executive Order Federalizing Troops During Little Rock Central High Desegregation (1957)
- Voting Rights Act of 1965
- Joint Resolution Proposing the 26th Amendment (1971)
“Making Amends” will be open through July 26, 2026. Additional information about the exhibit will be available at www.clintonpresidentialcenter.org/makingamends.
Alongside “Making Amends,” until Thursday, March 26, visitors can enjoy the “American Revolution Experience,” an innovative pop-up exhibition that connects modern audiences with the people and places that shaped the birth of our nation. The exhibit was created through a collaboration between the American Battlefield Trust and the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.
“Making Amends” is part of the Clinton Center’s America250 commemoration, which will also include engaging programs and activities for visitors of all ages.
Visitors are encouraged to check www.clintonpresidentialcenter.org/events for information about upcoming exhibit-related programming.
