American Friends Service Committee’s widely-acclaimed
exhibition on the human costs of Iraq War makes a 3-day
stop in Columbus as part of a 70 city international tour.

The exhibition features:

A field of combat boots symbolizing more than 2,400 US soldiers
who have lost their lives. Each pair of boots bears a name of a
fallen soldier. An interlocked field of shoes and sandals representing
over 100,000 Iraqi children, women and men who died.

A Wall of Remembrance to memorialize those killed and multimedia
display exploring the history, cost and consequences of the Iraq war

Robert Cray Music Video features
"Eyes Wide Open" Exhibit Boots.

“Twenty,” from Cray’s Grammy- nominated album commemorates
the soldiers whose lives are “used up” by the Iraq war.
