SUMMARY:Cecelia Larrison: A story of Self-Liberation from Slavery
DESCRIPTION:Cecelia Larrison is one of many people who liberated themselves from slavery long before the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. In 1846\, at age 15\, while on a trip to Niagara Falls with her enslavers\, the Thruston family of Louisville\, Kentucky\, Cecelia slipped away and crossed the border into Canada. \nThroughout her years as a free woman\, Cecelia faced many joys and hardships. The details of her life\, like those of many formerly enslaved people\, could have been lost to history. But fortunately\, we have significant documentation of Cecelia’s movements and struggles\, much of it coming from an unlikely source: a woman who was once her enslaver\, her childhood playmate\, and perhaps even her friend. \nAfter her liberation\, Cecelia started a nearly decade-long correspondence with her former “mistress\,” Frances “Fanny” Thruston. This online exhibit uses some of these letters to tell the story of Cecelia’s life after slavery.

SUMMARY:Fresh Talk: Sarah Lewis--Vision and Justice
DESCRIPTION:Explore photography as a catalyst for social change. \nAs the first guest editor in Aperture magazine’s 64-year history\, Sarah Lewis defined the relationship between what we see (vision) and what we fix (justice) in the landmark 2016 “Vision & Justice” issue.

Does photography have the power to correct age-old narratives used to justify injustice? What is the role of the photojournalist or fine art photographer today? \nSpeakers include Sarah Lewis\, bestselling author\, curator\, and Harvard professor\, and moderator Rhea Combs\, curator of film and photography\, and director of the Center for African American Media Arts at National Museum of African American History and Culture.

SUMMARY:Memorials: The Journey to Civil Rights
DESCRIPTION:“We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long\, but it bends toward justice\,” declared Martin Luther King\, Jr. in 1968. By the time you read that quote at the conclusion of this walk you will have encountered the author of the Declaration of Independence\, drafter of the country’s first bill of rights\, the champion of the New Deal and the woman helped author the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For two weeks each spring the Tidal Basin glows with a pink-white hue of thousands of Japanese cherry trees. Yet once the glory of the blossoms has vanished the memorials around this manmade body of water continue to resonate with the American principles of independence\, equal rights\, and justice. Trace the evolution of the U.S. Civil Rights movement through up-close encounters with Thomas Jefferson Memorial\, George Mason Memorial\, Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial\, Martin Luther King\, Jr. Memorial plus views of the Washington Monument.
