  • Transformations | Fifty Years of the Brown University–Tougaloo College Partnership

    |

    20140512tougaloo The Transformations exhibit examines the unique relationship between Brown University and Tougaloo College (Mississippi) over its fifty year history. Photographs and printed materials offer a glimpse of the early years of the partnership as well as the depth of personal change experienced by participants in the exchange.  From Civil Rights to the present, Tougaloo has provided the Brown community with an important perspective on social activism, lingering inequalities, and education.

    The Transformations exhibit goes up on May 12, 2014 and will be on display until August 15, 2014.

    Members of the general public wishing to to view exhibits at the Rockefeller Library should first check in at the service desk.

    Date: May 12, 2014 – August 15, 2014

  • Music in the Ocean State Exhibit

    The Music in the Ocean State exhibit was created to highlight Rhode Island music & musicians, in honor of the New England Chapter of the Music Library Association’s spring meeting (hosted by the Orwig Music Library on March 28, 2014). This exhibit will be up until the end of the summer.

    The media, books, and music on display represent just a tiny fraction of the talent found in Rhode Island. As you can see, some artists are from out of state, some are homegrown, and many are Brown alums. For the smallest state in the union, we’re not only blessed with a wealth of musicians, but also many musical venues and festivals.

    Location: Orwig Music Library
    Date: March 28, 2014–August 31, 2014
