To support Black Photojournalism, the first comprehensive traveling exhibition considering the work of Black photojournalists active in the United States from the end of World War II, through the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, to Jesse Jackson’s run for president in 1984. Co-organized with the Phillips Collection, the exhibition features images by some 40 Black photographers of such landmark events as the March on Washington and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as everyday occasions like birthdays, weddings, and funerals. A catalogue will offer new scholarship at the intersection of photography, Black visual culture, and American history.
