Unchained Memories: Readings from the Slave Narratives

Exhibition

Unchained Memories: Readings from the Slave Narratives, an interactive exhibit based on the oral histories of slaves collected by the Works Projects Administration in the 1930s, was presented in the lobby of the Salomon Center for Teaching. The exhibit, which complements the HBO film of the same title, was organized by the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center of Cincinnati. It was brought to Brown in conjunction with the May 24 Commencement Forum by alumnus Spencer Crew, executive director of the Center.
