Publishers 'use' Bennett's art
Harriett Tubman mural to be
featured on textbook cover
BY TAKESHA BRIGGiNS
Banner Reporter and Stc^
If you have ever eaten in the
cafeteria, you have witnessed a
ranariiiable and extremely valu
able piece of art
Now Bennett will be able to
share this visual delight with oth
ers throughout the country and the
world.
The piece is the blue-green
monochromatic mural located on
the wall in the back of the cafete
ria. The mural was a commis
sioned work dcaie specifically for
Bennett College by Aaron Dou

Douglas was a highly respected
African-American artist during the
Harlem Renaissance Movement

agreement with the Prentice H.

publish about 8,000 books featur

as a cover on a textbook] is a won

Adams,an art professor in the Vi

gram.
First unveiled in 1931 in the
former Wilbur Steele Dining Hall,
he mural is a representation of
L vriettTubmanleading more than
slaves to freedom through the
Underground Railroad.
"Tubman, the central figure in
the mural saves a bridge to the
past and present. One side of the
painting represents slavery and the
other side represents the free
world," Dr. Ad^s is also the over
seer of the College's art collec
tions.
Dr. Adams said that two other
companies have contacted Ben
nett about the mural.
"One company is producing a
literature textbook for middle
school children. They want to use
the image in the book to corre-
