Correction: The original version of this post mistakenly wrote that the original curators of the Audre Lorde Exhibit, Audre Lorde and Morgan Greenwald, would be at Thursday's event to answer questions about the exhibit in a panel discussion. However, the original curators will not be at the opening ceremony -- the panel discussion will instead feature local curators, including the students listed above. The Daily regrets this error and acknowledges that the original post was disrespectful to the original curators, particularly Audre Lorde, who passed away in November 1992.
