Thank you for these much-needed and spirited comments on the work we do that is often invisible to others. At the opening of the Nasher exhibit of Hugh Mangum's compelling portraits, I found myself at one point gathered with a core group of Duke Libraries colleagues who contributed to the Mangum project. In an instant, I was flooded with a joyous feeling of common purpose that has moved this project along for more than 30 years. It was thrilling to reflect on how all of our efforts have led to this moment, and to be part of an audience astonished by the beauty in the people Hugh Mangum photographed. As I mentioned to those colleagues on opening night, this is what we hope for and work towards every day, even if the efforts bear fruit years after we're gone.
