minor crimes, and turn them over toprivate industry as a form of slave labor.

Jacob Lawrence (1917 - 2000) - one of thetwentieth century's most renowned African
American painters - originally created TheLegend of John Brown in 1941 as a series oftwenty-two gouache paintings illustrating thelife of the famous and controversialnineteenth-century abolitionist. By 1977, theoriginal paintings were in such fragile conditionthey could not be displayed, and the DetroitInstitute of Arts commissioned Lawrence torecreate the series as a portfolio of silkscreenprints. The result was a limited editionportfolio of twenty-two hand-screened prints,one of which was acquired by the Ackland in2005. The works were printed and publishedwith a poem, John Brown, by Robert Hayden,
which was commissioned specifically for theproject. This exhibition is the Ackland's firstpresentation of the series, and coincides withthe 150th anniversary of Brown's raid onHarpers Ferry.

The following artists areincluded in the exhibition: Betty Blayton, FrankBowling, Ed Clark, Herbert Gentry, Bill Hutson,Sam Middleton, Joe Overstreet, Thomas Sills,Merton Simpson and Frank Wimberley.

Babcock GalleriesAfrican-Americans: Seeing and Seen,
1766-1916On view through April 2, 2010
African Americans: Seeing and Seen, 1766 1916 is an incisive overview of refined andcontroversial fine art and popular culture imagesof African Americans as artists and subjects.Bitter brutality and cruel caricature alternatewith respectful revelations and positiveportrayals of the status of African Americans. Itmay be said that all portrayals become betrayalsin revealing the motivations and prejudices oftheir creator, and the images in this exhibition
offer telling insights into the prevailing notionsof the period. Each work is not only a signpostof the complex nature of our cultural forbearers,but also a harbinger of the ongoing struggle forequal rights in the United States.
