I am honored to be an advisory board member of the Chicago Torture Justice Memorials Project.

Today is the opening reception of the exhibition and everyone is invited to attend. I will unfortunately have to miss the reception because I have a previously scheduled event.

The show is the result of a year’s worth of work by the Chicago Torture Justice Memorials Project, which seeks to reckon with the torture of over 100 African American men and women under Police Commander Jon Burge. The project’s goal is to better preserve the history of the torture and activism to hold Burge accountable, to share this history with new audiences and to engage them to work on behalf of torture survivors.

The show will run October 4-December 21st at Sullivan Galleries, 33 S. State St, 7th floor.

The opening reception is tonight, October 5, 4:30–8:00PM.

The following article is a nice description of the project and the exhibition.
