Exhibit: "Icons of the Civil Rights Movement"

The Student Union Art Gallery proudly presents "Icons of the Civil Rights Movement," an exhibit by Pamela Chatterton-Purdy '66G.

Each of the twenty icons in this exhibit commemorates an important moment in the history of the Civil Rights Movement. The artist uses carved wood, paint, and gold leaf to create these extensively researched icons. The result is a collection of striking works that inspire reflection on a series of moments in our history that must not be forgotten.
