Join us for an open house celebrating a limited-time photographic exhibit of artifacts pertaining to slavery, segregation, and discrimination in the United States from the collection of Alan Page.

Join the Moorhead Public Library for an open house celebrating TESTIFY, a temporary installation of an impactful photographic exhibit featuring artifacts pertaining to slavery, segregation, and discrimination in the United States. The exhibit features a collection of physical artifacts belonging to former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice and NFL Hall of Famer Alan Page, and many of the items have been memorialized in this traveling exhibit of banners with photographs and descriptions of the historically significant items.

The exhibit will be on display at Moorhead Public Library from Feb. 12-Mar. 29. This program is made possible thanks in part to funding from the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Legacy Fund. Refreshments will be served thanks to the support of the Friends of the Moorhead Public Library. This program is offered free-of-charge and is open to all.
