Note:
"A Man for All Seasons" focused on John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States. In 1839 when Africans of the Mendi ethnicity mutinied and captured
the Amistad, the ship that was carrying them to the United States and to slavery, Adams argued their case before the United States Supreme Court and did so without pay. The
exhibition included a letter sent to Adams by Cinqui, the leader of the captives, whose freedom Adams won.
Congressman Adams argued against the Mexican War. On George Washington's Birthday, 1848, a resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives to thank the officers
who had led the Mexican campaigns. Adams voted a lone and forceful "No!", then collapsed across his desk. He was carried to the Speaker's room where, some hours later, he
died. The desk was included in the exhibition. So were other Adams objects, such as his cane, terrestrial and celestial globes, Adams' portraits, traveling case and a daguerreotype
taken by Albert Sands Southworth shortly before Adams died in 1848. Organized by the Gallery's Director, Marvin Sadik, the exhibition coincided with the publication of Andrew
Oliver's Portraits of John Quincy Adams and His Wife.
These exhibition records consist of correspondence; memoranda; newspaper articles; excerpts from Adams' correspondence; photocopies of Adams' diary entries; loan agreements;
exhibition script; brochures; research notes; press releases; and photographs.
