How do you want to be honored for your contribution to society?

John Singer Sargent's principal model, Thomas Eugene McKeller, migrated to the city of Boston in hopes of a new life and opportunity. Unbeknownst to him would be how his body became the inspiration for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Widener Library rotundas. Many visitors today are still unaware of this black man's story. Join us for a lively set of performative responses by Boston dancers, poets, and actors as they celebrate and honor the legacy and lived experiences of Thomas Eugene McKeller.
