To support “Say It with Pictures: Black Photography, Chicago, and the Great Migration,” a project bringing together scholars, curators, and community members for a one-day in-person event at the Newberry Library in Chicago in the fall of 2025. This ongoing, multi-faceted project explores the under-recognized impact of African American commercial photographers working in Chicago between 1890 and the 1930s. Key topics of discussion include exhibition content and learning goals, publication content and format, strategies for community engagement, and areas for further scholarly exploration. This closed convening will inform an exhibition on view at the Newberry Library in 2027, shape an accompanying publication, and encourage participants to think expansively about “Say It with Pictures” as a collaborative, continuing project.
