Libraries Collect Signs from J21, 2017 marches.

Protesters build a wall of signs outside the White House for the Women's March on Washington during the first full day of Donald Trump's presidency, Jan. 21, 2017.
Chicago's Newberry Library  said the dozens of signs it had received so far added to "millions of items in [its] collection, ranging from medieval manuscripts to the signs that people marched with last Saturday," --"They will be part of a new collection focused on recording the social turmoil that has rocked the United States in recent years, including protests against racial injustice, Alex Teller told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in a telephone interview."
