The McCormick Freedom Museum was a pretty interesting place, it reminded me a lot of my American Studies class junior year of high school; in which we discussed our rights a lot. I liked a lot of the exhibits in the museum, but the one that caught my eye more than all of them was the exhibit on banned music. While I understood that some of the songs were banned/changed because of fairly explicit lyrics, I couldn't believe when I saw The Who's Substitute on the list for the lyrics "I look all white, but my dad was black." I also thought it was hilarious that Frank Zappa's "I Don't Want To Go", a song about draft dodging, was on the list, and there were not even any lyrics in the song that could be considered bad; except for a line about draft dodging.
Overall the museum was interesting, and the movie and the small exhibits were fun for a short while.
