NOW ON VIEW The Slave Trade: Books and Manuscripts from the Huttner Abolition and Anti-Slavery Collection

“Nations no more than men, can live by bread alone. In the absence of justice, liberty and truth, the soul of the nation dies.”

Frederick Douglass, 1885

This month, in connection with the exhibit TESTIFY, Special Collections is showcasing material from the Huttner Abolition and Anti-Slavery Collection. The display, which focuses on material related to the slave trade, includes items that may be challenging to some, including appalling handwritten deeds and receipts for the sale of slaves and a set of shackles form the Diane and Alan Page Collection. 

“Before reconciliation there must be truth – and the truth can be ugly,” said Justice Page. “But we cannot be reconciled and move forward if an increasingly louder group of people continue to deflect, minimize and sweep history under the rug.”

The display is on view in the atrium of Minneapolis Central Library through February 6.

The Huttner Abolition and Anti-Slavery Collection

The Huttner Collection in the Hennepin County Library Special Collections contains hundreds of books, tracts, speeches, testimonials, and other original manuscripts related to the abolitionist movement at the era of slavery in the United States. The collection includes works related to a number of figures in the movement including Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. DuBois, John Greenleaf Whittier, William Lloyd Garrison, Sojourner Truth, Solomon Northup, and Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Generous contributions from the community allowed the Library to acquire the core of the collection in 1974 from Chicago attorney Robert L. Huttner who originally gathered the bulk of the material. The Library has continued to build this collection adding hundreds of new items since its acquisition.

TESTIFY: American from Slavery to Today from the Diane & Alan Page Collection

Visit Cargill Hall on the 2nd floor of Central Library to view TESTIFY: Americana from Slavery to Today from the Diane & Alan Page Collection, January 8 – February 6, 2018.

Inspired by the recent resurgence of racial tension in our country, TESTIFY gives context and definition to the conversation, serving as a reminder of the history that brings us to today. The wide-ranging exhibit features art and artifacts from pivotal eras in American history while also providing a platform for visitors to share their thoughts, feelings and personal experiences.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach makes a leaping pass over Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Alan Page on Oct. 18, 1970 at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minn. Arguably the greatest Dallas Cowboy of all time, Staubach best embodies the Cowboys’ glory days, leading Dallas to four Super Bowls and two championships. His six Pro Bowls and Super Bowl VI MVP award led to his 1985 induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Known as "Roger The Dodger" for his scrambling abilities, "Captain America" as quarterback of America's Team, and also as "Captain Comeback" for his fourth quarter game-winning heroics, Staubach turned 75 years old on Feb. 5, 2017.
