Pavilion X Exhibit Highlights Slavery History of Its Former Residents

Ian Solomon, dean of UVA’s Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, who currently lives in Pavilion X with his family, is encouraging visitors and viewers to see a new exhibit installed in the cellar’s hallway that brings to light some of the former residents and conditions of daily life of the enslaved workers, as well as the white professors for whom they labored without freedom. Although the exhibit is not yet open to the public, the panels of the exhibit can be viewed online.
