Color Line opening discussion
Join Ted Smith, a Portland Art Museum staff member, in front of the Lincoln Statue in the Park Blocks for a free dialogue in honor of the first arrival of slaves in Virginia in 1619. This opening discussion lays the foundation for a communal reflection around the history of slavery in the United States. Following this gathering are two tours that take this conversation through the collections in the Museum’s galleries.
