Ancestral Passage: 
A Healing Journey Through the Middle Passage

Ancestral Passage: A Healing Journey Through the Middle Passage to open at the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum on May 14, 2011. This exhibition gives visual voice to the untold millions of Africans who died during the Atlantic crossing between Africa and the American colonies. As scholars report, millions of people were kidnapped and loaded onto slave ships and if even one half survived, investors considered it a profitable voyage. As Dr. Barbara J. Molette, Ph.D. wrote, "If the Atlantic Ocean were to dry up, a trail of bones would lead from the shores of Africa to the Americas." (2008)
