In 1989, the year The Sixth Floor exhibit opened to the public, Mark Brookshire became one of our earliest donors, gifting a copy of his then-new poem, "A Crime Revisited" (1989.125.0001). That copy was exhibited on the Museum's seventh floor as part of a showcase of personal responses to the assassination in support of the traveling art exhibit, True Colors, which ran from February to June 2005 at The Sixth Floor Museum. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
