Join us at the Everhart Museum for a talk by Destination Freedom Program Manager EJ Murphy, which will coincide with their exhibition, Through Darkness to Light: Photographs Along the Underground Railroad.
Through Darkness to Light, a traveling exhibition from ExhibitsUSA, a program of the Mid-America Arts Alliance, showcases the photography of Jeanine Michna-Bales, who has spent more than a decade meticulously researching “fugitive” slaves and the ways they escaped to freedom. While the unnumbered routes of the Underground Railroad encompassed countless square miles, the path Michna-Bales documented encompasses roughly 2,000 miles and is based off of actual sites, cities, and places that freedom-seekers passed through during their journey.
The event takes place at the Everhart Museum and is free and open to the public.
