His proposal to add them to the public galleries is opposed by the foundation’s long-time education director\, who is loyal to the idiosyncratic wishes of the late Dr. Morris. Spurred on by a zealous local journalist\, this clash quickly escalates to public accusations of racism and a bitter struggle for control of the collection.\n\n\n\nWhen\n\nFriday\, February 4th @ 7pm\nSaturday\, February 5th @ 7pm\nSunday\, February 6th @ 2pm\n\n\n\n\nTicketing \nIn-Person theater costs.
