“The Kidnapping of Free Blacks,” a panel discussion as part of the
“Twelve Years a Slave” exhibit, will take place on Friday, Jan. 29, at 7:30 p.m.
in the Nott Memorial.

Margaret Washington and Carol Wilson, author of Freedom at Risk: The Kidnapping of
Free Blacks in America
will speak.

Meanwhile, the opening reception for the other part of the dual exhibit on the American
slave experience – “Powre Above Powres: Passing Freedom,” an installation
by artist Terry Adkins — has been rescheduled for Feb. 4 at 4:30 p.m. Inclement
weather last week forced the postponement.

The exhibits run through March 14.

A number of events to be presented throughout the exhibit will be detailed in future
editions of the Chronicle. .
