The exhibition will contain artworks, original documentation and reproductions of archival materials. Using the collections at Columbia University’s Art Properties and Rare Book and Manuscript Library – as well as collections and archives at New York Public Library, New York Historical Society, Museum of the City of New York, National Museum of the American Indian, New York State Archives and the Library of Congress, we will identify key materials that locate Africans within early accounts of the colonial project that would become the United States, and provide insight on what the texture of life would have been like for Africans in the conflicted space of the New World. This research will also be the basis from which to consider this documentation along with contemporary artwork that reflect attitudes, agreements, discord, popular culture and personal accounts about Africa and the descendants of African people as foundational actors in the emergence of the Atlantic World. Scholars, educators, practitioners, community organizers and others will to convene for a two day symposium on September 26th, 2019 in New York to address and discuss “1619 And Its Legacies”. PANEL TOPICS:  “THE MATERIALITY OF SLAVERY: ‘WHAT IS PASSED ON?’ – “COLUMBIA SLAVERY PROJECT’ – “ATTENDING TO THE LEGACIES AND AFTERLIVES OF SLAVERY: AMEND THE 13TH AND REPARATIONS” – “THE MOVEMENNT FOR BLACK LIVES” Panelist include:   MARISA FUENTES,  Rutgers University, New BrunswickRASHAUNA JOHNSON,  Dartmouth CollegeTIYA MILES,  Harvard UniversityFRANK GURIDY,  Columbia UniversityKARL JACOBY,  Columbia UniversityJORDAN BREWINGTON,  Columbia University AlumCIARA LILY KEANE,  Columbia University AlumTOMMY SONG,  Columbia University AlumFLORES FORBES,  Columbia UniversityKATHERINE FRANKE,  Columbia UniversityKENDALL THOMAS, Columbia UniversityRINALDO WALCOTT, University of TorontoCHARLENE CARRUTHERS,  Chicago Center for Leadership and TransformationMONICA DENNIS,  Move to End ViolenceBARBARA RANSBY,  University of Illinois at ChicagoANDREA J.  RITCHIE, Barnard College Center for Research on WomenPoetry Reading by: Tongo Eisen-Martin, (California American Book Awards winner)On Friday, September 27thThe Atlantic Fellow for Racial Equity will host a roundtable: Leadership for a Liberatory Future”DR.
