Washburn raises awareness in slavery

To heighten awareness of slavery, Washburn hosted a week long series of events. Slavery Awareness Week was held Feb. 23-27.

The week of events were sponsored by different student organizations and offices on campus. Some of the events that were held during the week included an art reception featuring an art exhibition, a film screening of "Very Young Girls" and a panel discussion on the topic domestic trafficking, all held at the Mabee Library. These events were just a few that were held during awareness week. All events that were held were free and open to the public.

The art exhibition titled "Reflections on Modern Slavery", will remain open through the end of March.

Washburn promotes slavery awareness every year.
