The Breman Museum’s special exhibition Seeking Justice: The Leo Frank Case Revisited recounts the racially charged and tragic events surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan in 1913 and lynching of Leo Frank two years later.
Seeking Justice includes intimate interviews reflecting on the terrible chain of events surrounding these two unsolved murders that shook the nation, as well as documentary materials and artifacts recently made public.
Seeking Justice will make its national premiere in Atlanta on February 10, 2008, and remain on display through December 31, 2008, before traveling to other cities.
