The Public Humanities program collaborated with The Global Columbia Collaboratory on this summer program. Students curated an online exhibition that explores activism against the Greek dictatorship of 1967-1974. They focused on the story of three activists who confronted the regime and brought its injustices to an international audience, Stephen Rousseas, James Becket, and Maria Becket. Structured around a podcast and based on interviews with the Becket family and materials from the Stephen William Rousseas Archive at Columbia University, Activists in the Archive examines the place of these figures in the public memory of the dictatorship and spotlights a moment when a few individuals believed that together they could change the course of history.

The exhibition is curated by Columbia students:
