Online Exhibits

COVID-19 presented the Logan Museum with an opportunity to re-imagine how we construct and share exhibit content. Pivoting to an online format presents new learning and engagement opportunities for students, faculty, and staff and ensures exhibit content is more broadly accessible. We hope our new online exhibits inspire collaboration, dialogue, and knowledge production during and after the current pandemic.

  • Black Resistance and Persistence is a collection of stories about anti-Black racism in America and the lasting legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. Slavery legally “ended” in 1865, but Black people still experience violence, systematic disenfranchisement, and exclusion from health care, education, and economic and political life. At its core, this exhibition is about the fight for justice, equity, and inclusion.
