Witnessing Humanity: The Art of John Wilson is the largest-ever exhibition of Wilson’s work, co-organized by the MFA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Featuring approximately 110 works by the artist in a wide range of media—prints, drawings, paintings, sculpture, and illustrated books—the exhibition explores the many ways Wilson called attention to racial, social, and economic injustices through his art. Challenging both biases and omissions, Wilson explored subjects that include anti-Black violence, the civil rights movement, labor, and family life—with a particular focus on fatherhood. Portraits like Julie and Becky (1956–78) and his Young Americans suite of life-size portraits (about 1972–75) celebrate the essential humanity of Wilson’s family and friends, while other works like Deliver Us from Evil (1943) and The Trial (1951) depict the heinous impacts of systemic prejudice and racism. Wilson’s work speaks to shared experiences, while also displaying his personal search for identity as an artist, Black man, parent, and American.

In honor of the 100th anniversary of Malcolm X’s birth, nearly two hundred volunteers will read his autobiography in its entirety in this first-ever, two-day marathon reading of this book in Boston. After each day’s reading, there will be a community dinner. The whole reading will also be live-streamed.

Event details: Malcolm X’s bravery in challenging Americans who were complacent towards racial violence against African Americans, his intolerance in accepting the status quo of economic inequities of American society, and his courage in speaking out for those not empowered to do so made him a hero to everyone interested in social justice and human rights. Through a group reading of his Autobiography, which has inspired millions around the globe since its first publication in 1965, we seek to unite and channel our individual aspirations for a better future into a powerful collective voice for change.
