Students visited took a Saturday trip to view the Kerry James Marshall Exhibit at the National Gallery of Art. The exhibit featured drawings and large scale mixed media paintings. Marshall's work "confronts the idea of the American dream from a black
perspective," exhibition curator James Meyer explained during a preview.
Subject matter ranges from the
Middle Passage and African mythology to public-private housing and depictions of real-life African-American figures.
