Fourteen paintings, relating to the Black Experience, were chosen from the collection of Americans Who Tell the Truth (AWTT) and will be on display for the month of February. The portraits on display and programs will be held in the Meeting Room.
Professor Rebecca L. Williams will speak on the African American impact on education and literature, including Westfield's role in the Harlem Renaissance.
