Check out a special Founders Day exhibit of historical artifacts related to the founding of Knox College and Galesburg. We will explore what it means to be an abolitionist institution yesterday and today. Highlights will include the diaries of abolitionist Samuel Wright, the Founder's Compass, antislavery society pamphlets, and contemporary student protest documents. The exhibit is on the main floor of Seymour Library, accessible to all, and will remain up in the library for a month. In-person for the Knox community. Visitors should review the Knox Together Visitor policy.
