SUMMARY:Looking Back to the Future: Realizing the “Afric-American Picture Gallery”
DESCRIPTION:Almost Unknown\, the Afric-American Picture Gallery brings to life William J. Wilson’s 1859 fantastical essay. This symposium will explore broader approaches to how Wilson’s essay can be integrated into American history and how it connects to Henry Francis du Pont’s legacy and Winterthur’s history.  \nThe keynote speaker is Fred Wilson\, curator of Mining the Museum\, the seminal 1992 exhibition at what is now the Maryland Center for History and Culture. Wilson used that museum’s collections to confront and challenge perceptions about history\, culture\, and race\, and the installation continues to influence scholars and museum professionals today. \nJoin a diverse audience of museum professionals\, educators on the college and secondary levels\, scholars\, enthusiasts of African American history\, and the wider Wilmington community for this engaging two-day event.

SUMMARY:America’s Tapestry Project Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Be a part of America’s 250th anniversary. America’s Tapestry is a project featuring 13 hand-embroidered panels\, one for each of the original colonies\, illustrating the diverse stories of individual contributions–many overlooked–that reveal the struggle for Independence. Panels are created by talented artisans from New Hampshire to Georgia. The Delaware tapestry captures a pivotal moment in the American Revolution\, highlighting the heroism of Major Henry Fisher\, known as the “eyes and ears” of the Revolution. Fisher is depicted firing a signal gun\, alerting Patriot forces to the approach of an enemy ship near the Delaware Bay. Visitors are invited to contribute stitches to the tapestry and observe stitchers as they work. Included with admission. Members free. \nAmerica’s Tapestry will also be at Winterthur on December 17\, March 14\, and April 1.
