The Museum of African American History in Boston, in collaboration with GBH’s “Frontline” on PBS, is shining a spotlight on families of the civil rights era who are still on a quest for justice, decades later.

“Un(re)solved” is billed as “a multiplatform experience examining a federal effort to grapple with America’s legacy of racist killings,” and features an ongoing museum exhibit along with video, audio, online interactive, and curriculum components.

At the museum installation, visitors can explore a “living quilt” and use “augmented reality to bring to life the stories woven throughout” — stories of the men, women, and children whose cases were re-examined under the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act.

The installation runs through Feb. 26; for more information visit pbs.org.
