Brown University Commencement Activities
For centuries, the institution of slavery pervaded every aspect of life in American, and its reverberations are still keenly felt today. We invite you to the Center’s 19thcentury house for a special reception to meet our faculty, staff and students. While you are at the Center you can view the exhibit on display in our gallery, Maker Unknown? Material Objects & the Enslaved, a stunning glass wall art piece Rising to Freedom and a symbolic slave garden.
