As part of the 40th anniversary celebrations surrounding the Bruins' ethnic studies programs, a major exhibition will put on display, starting this weekend, an array of materials that document the tumultuous times that put the lives, history and experiences of Asian, African, and Latino Americans and American Indians in the center of serious academe for research, scholarship and recording. The display will include noteworthy murals, photographs, films, books and journals key to and produced by the ethnic scholarly centers. A festival Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. will open the free, public exhibit, which runs through June 13.
