Maurie D. McInnis, professor and associate dean for the College and Graduate 
School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia, will discuss and 
sign "Slaves Waiting for Sale," her innovative book featuring the work of Eyre 
Crowe, a British artist.  Crowe witnessed a slave auction in 1853 and later 
used his sketches of the scene to develop a series of illustrations and 
paintings including "Slaves Waiting for Sale, Richmond, Virginia." McInnis 
illuminates not only how Crowe's abolitionist art was inspired and made, but 
also how it influenced the international public's understanding of slavery in 
America.
