As Confederate memorials across the United States come down, new monuments are rising, commemorating anti-slavery efforts, women’s suffrage, and even recent events such as the Orlando nightclub massacre. Brothers Andrew Lichtenstein and Alex Lichtenstein offer another avenue to revisit and reimagine America’s past. In Marked, Unmarked, Remembered, photojournalist Andrew and historian Alex combine new images of lesser known, often nearly forgotten historic sites with essays seeking to shed new light on the connection between place and history. The Lichtensteins come to CHF to provide a history lesson through images. The annual Richard Gray Visual Art Series recognizes a significant gift from founding CHF board member and distinguished art dealer Richard Gray.This program is presented in partnership with the College Arts and Humanities Institute at Indiana University.
