JEFFERSON CITY - The Lincoln University Clothesline Project Exhibit will display a clothesline hung with shirts designed by survivors to represent their experiences. The Green Dot Program is organizing the event.
The event will be inside the Scruggs University Center on Monday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public. This is the first event at the university during National Crime Victims Rights Week.
Victoria McBride, Green Dot Program Coordinator, said she enjoys being able to give voices to people who have experienced trauma in their lives. The Clothesline Project originated in the 90s in Massachusetts and they determined they wanted the opportunity for women and men and survivors of sexual violence to actually discuss their trauma and their victimization, McBride said.
