Harsh reality: Heather Erikson, assistant director of student development for North Idaho College, gave tours through an interactive exhibit, “Footsteps: A journey of many,” at the college in Coeur d’Alene on Wednesday. The exhibit walked participants through a maze of experiences from racism and domestic violence to child labor in sweat shops. “We’re hoping people will be moved enough to make a change,” Erikson said. The free tours run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 3 to 6 p.m. today. Reservations are encouraged; see www.nic.edu/footsteps.
