Passage on the Underground Railroad and the Black Experience within American History

A lecture with Stephen Marc, Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, Arizona State University

For nine years Stephen Marc traveled to over half the states in this country to photograph the routes traveled by fugitive slaves in their search for freedom, documenting and interpreting his research along the way. Marc shares the results of these explorations through his thought- provoking, creative, and haunting digital composite images, which he will place into the context of his previous and ongoing bodies of work that focus on locating the black experience within American history.

This lecture will take place at the Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery. For a map of UMBC's campus, visit http://www.umbc.edu/aboutumbc/campusmap/
