Telling A People's Story Exhibit Open House (In-Person)

Drop in and join us in welcoming Telling A People’s Story, the first major museum exhibition devoted to the art found within the pages of African-American children’s picture books. The exhibition emphasizes the strength of the illustrations as visual narrative representations of the African-American experience. This project celebrates the complex and diverse African-American experience through a lens intended for children and young readers. The exhibition offers something for all viewers through the representation of familiar and lesser-known people and the contributions of African Americans to an American identity.

The exhibit will be at the Library through June 12.
