Join Cornell University art historian Dr. Cheryl Finley for a book signing and discussion on how an eighteenth-century engraving of a slave ship became a cultural icon of black resistance, identity, and remembrance. Professor Finley traces how the slave ship icon became a powerful tool in the hands of British and American abolitionists, and how its radical potential was rediscovered in the twentieth century by black artists, activists, writers, filmmakers, and curators.
