Colin Powell, "A Wide Window on America." April 21, 1992. In 1992, the LBJ Library featured an exhibit on World War II. The Chief of Staff of the United States Army Colin Powell introduced the exhibit to the public, saying, "We gather this evening to open a marvelous exhibit commemorating World War II. I've just come from looking at the exhibit, and I hope that in the days ahead all of you will take time to do the same. What you will see when you walk through the exhibit are photographs and personal accounts of the people and places of World War II. These precious mementos open a wide window on America and through that wide window we see laid bare for us the tears, the heartaches, the courage, the laughter, and most of all the unconquerable spirit of the American people."
