Target America: Opening Eyes to the Damage Drugs Cause
The DEA Museum opened a powerful exhibit September 2002 that traces the historic and contemporary connections between global drug trafficking and terrorism.
Target America allows visitors to explore a global and historical overview of this deadly connection.
Expanded in 2004, Target America now presents not only narco-terrorism issues, but also a look at other costs to society–costs to children, costs to the environment, costs to the body, and ends with an important look at how each visitor can work to break the cycle of drug abuse and drug-related violence.

Testimonials

This is a wonderful exhibit and this is a great learning experience.... I am looking foward to coming here again and learning more. Thank you for the knowledge I now have.

I feel that this exhibit could greatly help adolescents who get to see it. It's important for them to see the very real affects of the aftermath of using a drug. Drug use seems to be taken lightly until the results of addiction are shoved in your face.

Don't do drugs eaven if your frends tell you to do them.

This exhibit on drugs in America was very informative. It really shows how big of a problem this is and action needs to be taken to fix it. In the words of Nancy Reagan, "Just Say No!"
