Episode Details

A powerful new exhibit, “It’s Not Black and White,” honors local veterans through striking portraits and personal stories, revealing the profound sacrifices and enduring pride of those who served. Featuring 102-year-old WWII veteran George Van Vekoven and others from every generation, the project by artist Charlie Baggett—inspired by her Vietnam War losses—pairs modern portraits with historic military photos, each accompanied by biographies. For families like Cyrnda Smith’s, whose father fought during a racially fraught era, the exhibit is a moving tribute to a man who gave his all for freedoms he never fully lived. The display reminds us that veterans’ legacy isn’t defined by hardship alone, but by unwavering commitment—and it’s open until August 22nd, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
