I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

47. AAPLAC_161015_01.JPG: Power of Place A sense of place has deeply shaped African American history and culture. A multifaceted range of African American communities and identities have formed and changed in all corners of the country and in turn influenced the regions around them. Their evolution reveals a set of stories as diverse as the landscape itself. In this exhibition, you can explore stories of place from across the wide expanse of the nation and the African American experience.

Description of Subject Matter: Power of Place
September 24, 2016 – Indefinitely
This exhibition explores the idea of place and region as a crucial component of the African American experience through an interactive multimedia area called the Hometown Hub, where visitors can engage with stories about migration and other themes. Surrounding the hub are case studies of places in the U.S. illustrating the distinct flavor and experience of each. These place studies contain a mix of diverse stories—well-known and unknown; mainstream and edgy; celebratory and challenging.
The following areas are highlighted:
* Chicago: Black urban life and the home of the Chicago Defender newspaper
* Oak Bluffs:, Massachusetts leisure in Martha’s Vineyard
* Tulsa, Oklahoma: Black Wall Street and the story of the riot and rebirth
* South Carolina’s low country: life in the rice fields
* Greenville, Mississippi: images of segregated Mississippi through the lens of photo studios
* Bronx, New York: the birthplace of hip-hop
