The perspective of intellectuals was increasingly shaping the policies of American government and thereby the actions and opinions of American people. However, the Vietnam War, with its unexpected incidents at home and abroad, undermined fundamental assumptions of power and ethics. The exhibit will spotlight the cultural attitudes that led us into, through, and out of the Vietnam War. Books that reflected and affected public opinion will also be on display. The Vietnam Era Educational Center is located adjacent to the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans' Memorial off the Garden State Parkway exit 116.
Regular admission is free for veterans and active-duty military personnel.
