Through the months of February and March, the University of Mary Washington Galleries is showing selections from the Petrucci Family Foundation's Collection of African American Art.
"The objective is healing through art," Laughlin said. "The African American community has been scarred so frequently, for so long, and again in the last number of years." This exhibit creates a space that encourages reflection, healing, and regrouping through the lens of Black American history and its preservation.
