From Pride to Election Day 2026, the Brooklyn Museum marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence with Drawing America: US@250. A season of art installations, programs, and partnerships, Drawing America honors those who have imagined a more equitable future and fought for the promise of our democracy–and those who continue to do so today.
Step onto the floor of the US House of Representatives in December 1998. As the chamber debates whether to impeach President Bill Clinton, Representative John Lewis delivers a deeply personal speech about surviving a devastating storm–and about holding a divided nation together. His passionate testimony became a rallying cry to stay united as a national family, weathering the storm that Clinton’s trial represented as a divisive partisan issue for the American people.
In IMPEACH, artist Donald Moffett (American, born 1955) turns that moment into an immersive sound installation, inviting listeners to hear Lewis’s words and their echoes anew.
