“In the end, this exhibition is both an echo and reminder. An echo of the struggles past and a reminder about those to come. Freedom remains the ground on which we can all create a more humane world. But, it is not the freedom of political liberty, nor consumer choice, it’s a freedom which grounds itself upon the ending of all forms of human domination. The first enslaved African discerned this and sang about it. Today we walk and trod those grounds until we are free.” - Professor Anthony Bogues, director of the CSSJ, Racial Slavery, Marronage, and Freedom exhibition catalog.

This exhibition and related events are made possible through the generous funding of the CSSJ’s Heimark Artist in Residence program.
