Second Floor Galleries:Fashion Outlaws Fashion Outlaws explores the social history of women's clothing from the Industrial Revolution to World War II, focusing on the relationship between mobility and women’s rights. An outlaw is an individual who has broken the rules and is on the run from the law. Historically, strict dress codes limited women's social, spatial, and physical movement. Fashion outlaws are women who bend these rules, rebelling against tight-laced corsets and heavy, full skirts, to gain the ease of movement necessary to run, drive, bicycle, and more, all while earning greater social freedom. As key women rebelled against these limitations, fashion evolved into a symbol of women's liberation. Media Coverage: |

Paul L. David Massillon Tigers Football GalleryPaul Brown: and Racial Integration in Ohio Football The Massillon Museum’s Paul Brown and Racial Integration in Ohio Football exhibition will celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the 1946 reintegration of the National Football League. During his first year with the Browns, Paul Brown and Los Angeles Rams coach Adam Walsh made professional football history when each signed two black players. The Browns at that time were part of the All-American Football Conference, and the rams had been part of the NFL franchise. An unofficial National Football League rule banning African Americans from the league was enforced from 1933 until 1946. Coach Paul Brown was instrumental in overcoming football segregation by his continual effort to integrate teams at the naval academy, high school, college, and professional levels. Read more here. |
