Description

What is now commonly known as the Great Migration traces its legacy to the early 20th-century racial terror in the South that followed Reconstruction. In this exhibit, a dozen contemporary artists examine the impact of this migration on the people, the areas to which they moved and those that they left. Among those featured are Theaster Gates Jr., Allison Janae Hamilton and Carrie Mae Weems.
