The history of lynching in the United States remains vividly present, though not always visible, in our national landscape.Yet the impacts of generations of racial violence and its ongoing legacies are too often overlooked.
Join us for a conversation organized in connection with the Gardner Museum’s special viewing of Steve McQueen: Lynching Tree.
Explore questions of memory, history, and the role of art as a tool in reckoning with America’s legacy of racial violence.
Leading scholars and artists Steve Locke, Karilyn Crockett, Sara Zewde and Margaret Burnham join Lee Pelton of the Boston Foundation to discuss how artists, designers, historians, and others address this fraught history through their work, while forging paths toward equity, justice, and healing.
