In preparation for the Fighters for Freedom exhibition, Oklahoma City Museum of Art produced four large free-standing labels, placed several feet away from the artworks on purpose-built stands. These labels provided in-depth explanation of the various individuals and historical events portrayed in the works on view. The labels also had textured tactile reproductions of the works of art for blind or low-vision visitors.
