Seattle: See Jacob Lawrence: The Migration Series at SAM For Free This Weekend!

For the first time in more than two decades on the West Coast, all 60 panels of Jacob Lawrence's masterwork The Migration Series - depicting the exodus of African Americans from the rural south between World War I and World War II - will be shown in its entirety. Presented in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Lawrence's birth, the exhibition is made possible thanks to a major loan from The Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) and The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., and will be exhibited in the museum's Gwendolyn Knight & Jacob Lawrence Gallery.
