This exhibit showcases rare materials commemorating the bicentennial of the end of England's trade of slaves from Africa. "Abolition of the British Slave Trade, 1807," highlights important publications from the Rare Books collection of the Melville J. Herskovits Library of African Studies and from the Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections. Esmeralda Kale, Bibliographer of Africana, and Kathleen Bethel, African American Studies Librarian, sought to fill the display in homage to the historical event, to complement the "Fifty Years of African Independence" exhibit, and recognize the success of the Art History Dept.'s recent conference, "Out of Sight: New World Slavery and the Visual Imagination."
