The Way we Were

A curated selection of African American images that look back at the way we lived, worked, struggled and played. It features historical prints, Black memorabilia posters and Black history photographs. Many depict the more painful parts of our history like slavery and negative stereotypes, but most celebrate the humanity, courage, heroism, struggles and values of the generations that came before us.
