Let Your Motto Be Resistance January 14, 2009

This is an exhibition of photographic portraits of African Americans. It explores the medium's influential role in shaping public identity and individual notions of race and status over the past 150 years. The portrait subjects come from many sectors of the African American community, from Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and Edmonia Lewis, to W.E.B. Du Bois, Lorraine Hansberry, and Wynton Marsalis.
