Lauderdale, FL) is pleased to present: DRAPETOMANIA: A DISEASE CALLED FREEDOM An Exhibition of 18th-, 19th-, and Early 20th-Century African-American Material Culture From the Collection of Derrick Joshua Beard February 1-April 15, 200 The title of the exhibition is taken from an article by Dr. Samuel A. Cartwright that appeared in the "The Georgia Blister and Critic: a Monthly Journal....v.1, #7 (Sept. 1854), p. 156. In the article, Cartwright describes how he created the word "drapetomania" by combining two Greek words meaning "runaway slave" and "mad or crazy." He gives its new definition as: "The cause, in the most of cases, that induces the negro to run away from service..." The exhibition is divided into the following sections: Haiti; Slavery; Early Enslaved Muslims; Abolitionism (Anti-Slavery); Children's Anti-Slavery; New Orleans; Black Military; Reconstruction and Post-Civil War; African Americans on the Frontier; and Slave Songs and African-American Music; and it contains 114 items including: 8 periodicals; 48 books; 15 pieces of ephemera (slave auction broadsides, wills, marriage certificates, letters, envelopes, funeral notices, etc.); 28 photographs (albumen prints, ambrotypes, cabinet cards, carte-de-visites, daguerreotypes, stereo view cards, tintypes); a chair; a carved coconut shell box top; a miniature painting; a silver serving spoon; a slave collar; textiles; baskets; and realia.
