“Impressions of Liberty,” a sculpture by Titus Kaphar, is on view through Dec. 17 in front of Maclean House. It portrays Princeton’s fifth president, Samuel Finley, and a black family representing his slaves, who were auctioned at the house in 1766. The sculpture was commissioned by the University Art Museum in conjunction with the Princeton & Slavery Project.
