Exhibit In Our Lobby |

Now Through November 30 |
Thanks to the generous support of The Herblock Foundation, this new exhibit features artistic reproductions of legendary Washington Post editorial cartoonist, Herbert Block.This exhibit features works that focus on the theme of democracy. Herblock used his talents to present important questions and challenges that words alone cannot:
We must vote, meet our civic responsibilities, pay taxes and expect the best of our elected government officials to work on behalf of all the people. The clarity of his message and artistic style were perfectly fused, providing transparency, a humorous and telling look at our leaders, ourselves and the world.

Flora T. Little Art Gallery |
November Artist |
|
|
|
The Prison Book Program's exhibition Art From Inside will remain on display in the Flora T. Little Gallery through the month of November.
| About the Program |
Prison Book Program has been supporting the freedom to read for incarcerated men and women since 1972. Most book requests come in the form of a handwritten letter, and PBP responds with a package of books which have been selected to match each requestor's specific needs and interests. |
About the Exhibit |
Art from Inside is a curated selection of works that incarcerated men and women have sent to Prison Book Program over the course of its 50+ year history. Most pieces have been sent as a token of gratitude for a shipment of free books. Many but not all pieces in the show are book-themed, depicting reading as liberating. |

Race to the Truth: Colonization and the Wampanoag Tribe explores the history of the Wampanoag people and the profound impact of European colonization on their lives, land, and culture.
The documentary sheds light on the arrival of Pilgrims in 1620 and the beginning of colonial expansion in what is now Massachusetts. It highlights the resilience and resistance of the Wampanoag, who faced displacement, disease, and the suppression of their traditions.
Through the voices of modern Wampanoag people, the film emphasizes the tribe’s efforts to reclaim and preserve their heritage, language, and stories.
