Others is an exposition of photographs exploring The Salvation Army's legacy and impact in the nations capitol.

 

Others focuses on the development of The Salvation Army in the United States, while providing an in depth look at the individuals the organization supports and serves in the Washington DC region. The exhibit's more than 3 dozen historical and contemporary images underscore the growth of The Salvation Army in World War I and II, the involvement of the First Ladies of the US and photographs of the present-day services provided by the organization.

This is not a large exhibit, but certainly one that you should drop by and view. This is another way of showing your support for such a worthy institution, who support all those in DC that need assistance.

The exhibit is open Tuesday - Friday 12 noon till 4 pm.
