• Exhibit: The Living Legacy of Ralph Waldo Emerson (PDF, 30 pages)
  Designed and executed by Bonnie Hurd Smith (with assistance from Robert D. Richardson Jr. and J. Frank Schulman), "The Living Legacy of Ralph Waldo Emerson" is a thirty panel exhibit covering the life and contributions to American cultural history of the "Sage of Concord." Starting with Emerson's birth in 1803, the panels describe in text and images the life of this Unitarian minister, poet, essayist, and reformer. The concluding panels in the exhibit pay special attention to Emerson's influence on contemporary Unitarian Universalist thought.
