You are invited to the opening reception of the spring Pop-Up Exhibit at the Valene Smith Museum of Anthropology on Friday, March 29, 2024 @ 12pm .

The exhibit aims to document and express this year's Book in Common, How the Word is Passed. Author, Clint Smith reckons with the history of slavery across America, as well as opens up a conversation about this underexplored topic in our collective history.

Smith asserts that, "our country is in a moment, at an inflection point, in which there is a willingness to more fully grapple with the legacy of slavery, and how it shaped the world we live in today."

The provocative posters help reintroduce the campus to Smith's powerful book ahead of his performance on April 11 on campus. The show will travel to the Humanities Center, Laxson Auditorium and the Meriam Library throughout second half of the semester. The exhibit was created collaboratively with 27 students in HFA and BSS. Come join the conversation.
