The John Lawrence and Legend of John Brown display, produced by the Wayne State University Library System in conjunction with the University Art Collection, is traveling to Michigan libraries and other nonprofit organizations through August. It includes digitized images of the original 22 silk screen prints, as well as informational text that puts the art into its historical context.
