Permanent Collection By Thomas Gibbons  "Put yourself in my place." Permanent Collection is the story of Sterling North - the African American Director of the Morris Foundation & Museum, and Paul Barrow - the Museum's Caucasian Education Director. When their conflict over eight important pieces of African art is uncovered by a curious journalist, a complex and bitter clash erupts over race, representation, legacy, art and the role of the media.
