M. Victor Leventritt Lecture by Patricia Hills, Boston University

Created between 1986 and 1997, these 15 silkscreen prints by Jacob Lawrence (1917–2000) tell the story of the man who was born a slave but rose to lead the liberation of Haiti.

This is a collaborative program of the Harvard Art Museum and the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research.
A reception and viewing of the prints will follow at the Rudenstine Gallery, Du Bois Institute, 104 Mt. Auburn Street. The related exhibition is open to the public September 15–December 15, 2009.

Free admission.
