English Professors Tobi Jacobi and Ed Lessor recently participated in the Prison Public Memory Project by helping to set up Pop Up Museums in three different locations in Hudson, NY on three different days in July (the 9^th, 14^th, and 24^th). A Pop Up Museum is a temporary exhibit. Popping up in different locations, the community is invited to bring something on topic to share and to contribute to the community-wide story. Using history, art, and dialogue to engage people from all walks of life in conversation and learning about the role of prisons in society, the Prison Public Memory Project works with communities to discover, preserve, interpret, and honor the memories of those who worked at and were incarcerated in correctional facilities.
