-The photography exhibition on Anne Morgan “American Women Rebuilding France”, presented with the support of the American Friends of Blérancourt, the exhibition continues in the United States. The next stops will be in Denver, Colorado during the summer of 2014, and Chicago, Illinois in fall 2014 at the Newberry Library in collaboration with the Alliance Française (French Alliance) of Chicago.
