Exhibits

"Free at Last: A History of the Abolition of Slavery"
A traveling exhibit curated by world-renowned historian James Oliver Horton for the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History will be on display in the Undergraduate Library from Monday through April 28 during normal library hours. The exhibition traces the political, moral and religious aspects of the debates over slavery that took place from 1780 to 1865. It is comprised of 22 freestanding panels, a video and interpretive and educational materials, including personal letters, documents, cartoons, photographs and broadsides, drawn in large part from the Lehrman collection. Many of the items previously have been unavailable to the public on a widespread basis, such as an early fragment of the "House Divided" speech by Abraham Lincoln.

A map of exhibition areas will be provided to visitors.
