The Struggle Search Continues • The story of Jacob Lawrence’sStruggleseries first unfolded in our pages in an article by Elizabeth Hutton Turner in January/February 2017. At the time, six of the series’ thirty panels had been lost. Three have now resurfaced, two since the launch of a traveling exhibition of the series now at the Seattle Art Museum. Both were recognized on the walls of Manhattan apartments by residents whose family members had acquired them some time ago, likely in the 1960s. We asked the exhibition curators to reflect on these two panels, as well as on those that are still missing, as we continue to reveal Lawrence’s telling of the American story.
