Another gallery in The Long 1968 exhibition is titled Revising the Future. It is based solely on the unique artists that came forward during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, with the goal of producing artwork based solely on the idea of bringing light into the darkness. This was a time of turmoil and chaos, which comes through in the art. The artwork ranged from humanistic to abstraction. It was difficult to forecast the future through specific imagery, so artists used colors and shapes that brought a sense of hope and happiness. Not all of the art was visual. Some artists relied on words to create a sense of hope through poetry. Artists found a balance between hope and distress when portraying the struggle of African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement.
