Using an innovative enlarged "book" design, this exhibit is framed on one side by a recreation of the 1938 Time magazine cover that catapulted Pepper into national consciousness. The other side of this "book" is a recreation of the 1983 Time cover. In between the "pages" of this book - which visitors can walk through - are highlights of Pepper's life and beliefs. Each panel captures the look of Time magazine, and contains text and images. Samples of extensive correspondence, documents, and photographs in the Claude Pepper Library are featured along with excerpts from the Senator's diary and quotes from his writings.
