Amon Carter's Emancipation Proclamation Exhibit to Open March 2023 --
The Amon Carter Museum of American Art is curating a future exhibit called 'Emancipation: The Unfinished Project of Liberation.'
The exhibit will cover the impact of President Abraham Lincoln's historic Emancipation Proclamation, which ordered 10 states to free slaves in the United States. It is set to open in March 2023, the 160th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, museum curator Maggie Adler said. "It's really important to me to make history come to life," Adler said."To use contemporary art as a lens for us to see history, and also to understand how history has an impact on the world of contemporary artists."
Adler said her inspiration was an 1863 sculpture at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art called 'The Freedman' by John Quincy Adams Ward.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
