Throughout African American history, the destination of ‘freedom’ has proven to be an elusive location. The search for this ‘promised land’ has taken many forms, including travel, migration, and even imagination. The International African American Museum’s (IAAM) newest special exhibition, “Follow the North Star: Freedom in the Age of Mobility,” explores this multifaceted journey while inviting visitors to learn about historic events related to African Americans’ search for freedom.

On Thursday, October 17, we invite you to join us at the IAAM for a conversation on the creation of the exhibition and how African Americans have collectively moved, both physically and metaphysically, towards a brighter future. Led by James Bartlett, IAAM Special Exhibitions Curator, this thought-provoking dialogue will feature prominent artists from within the exhibition.

This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of Michelin.
