Kansas City Is One Of Only 3 Cities To Show This Provocative Vietnam War Exhibit

An unvarnished account of the Vietnam War — from the Cold War domino theory that hooked the U.S. in the 1950s to a baby sweater left by a grieving mother at the Vietnam Memorial in 1990 — at the National World War I Museum doesn’t flinch from the brutality of the war and how it tore apart American society.
“This exhibit should help people think about what happened,” said Matt Naylor, CEO and president of the museum.
“It’s not a myopic view, but a balanced view that will examine the conflict from a variety of angles and will stimulate conversations around that.”
