California African-American Museum (CAAM)<br />
In conjunction with<br />
Black History Month,<br />
the Osher Lifelong<br />
Learning Institute (<strong>OLLI</strong>)<br />
takes its annual field<br />
trip to the California<br />
African-American<br />
Museum where we<br />
will have a docent-led<br />
tour of current exhibits.<br />
The tour will take 45<br />
minutes to one hour, and will cover the following three exhibits:<br />
Los Angeles Freedom Rally: On May 26, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther<br />
King Jr. addressed nearly 40,000 people in one of the largest civil<br />
rights rallies in the country.<br />
The Notion of Family: Art works from the nineteenth to the<br />
twenty-first centuries chart a trajectory of African American family<br />
and togetherness over the generations.<br />
Robert Pruitt: Devotion: Through drawing, sculpture, animation,<br />
and photography, the artist illuminates the connection between<br />
spiritual, fictional, and technology and investigates how black<br />
identity can reside at the intersection of these arenas.<br />
The Museum will treat the group to a workshop having to do with<br />
the current exhibits. Please join us; this field trip is always a treat.<br />
