About “No Condition to Race, Religion, or Station”

This exhibit was created in 2023-2024 to explore issues of race in the early history of the Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry (the original name of Drexel University). Incorporating preliminary research by Archives Technician Simon Ragovin, the exhibit was first conceived as a section of the Drexel Family Digital Archive. Staff soon determined that the subject matter related more to the Drexel Institute than the Drexel family and that it should be a separate exhibit.
