GALLERY TALK AND BOOK SIGNING FEATURING DR. CAROLYN MAZLOOMI

Join Anthony T. Browder, Director of the ASA Restoration Project, in a discussion of the recent discoveries made during the excavation of the 25th dynasty tomb of Karakhamun in Luxor, Egypt. The ASA Restoration Project was established in 2008 to honor the legacy of Dr. Asa G. Hilliard, III. It is the first African American organization to fund and fully participate in the excavation, conservation, and restoration of an Egyptian Tomb. Following the discussion, Mr. Browder will autograph copies of his latest publication, Finding Karakhamun: The Collaborative Rediscovery of a Lost Tomb. Join us for an engaging gallery talk with Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi as she expounds on the historical and artistic expressions of the quilts featured in the exhibit Journey of Hope: Quilts Inspired by President Barack Obama. Dr. Mazloomi is among the most influential African American quilt historians and quilt artists of the 21st century. She has also written several books on African American quilts and is an authority in the field. Following her presentation, she will be signing copies of her most recent book, Journey of Hope: Quilts Inspired by President Barack Obama. This dynamic and emotive exhibit, curated by Dr. Mazloomi, is on display at The DuSable Museum of African American History, now through May 2012.

SLAVERY BY ANOTHER NAME

Slavery by Another Name challenges one of Americas most cherished assumptions: the belief that slavery in this country ended with the Emancipation Proclamation. The film tells how even as chattel slavery came to an end in the South in 1865, thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor with shocking force and brutality. It was a system in which men, often guilty of no crime at all, were arrested, compelled to work without pay, repeatedly bought and sold, and coerced to do the bidding of masters. Tolerated by both the North and South, forced labor lasted well into the 20th century.
