Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery
Picturing Mobility explores what it meant to seek leisure and travel as a Black American during the Jim Crow era, and features snapshots and travel ephemera of Black leisure experiences from the mid-Atlantic during the 1920s to 1960s. From beach outings to family road trips, these images offer glimpses into everyday moments of happiness, relaxation and community, challenging dominant narratives that define the era solely through restriction and struggle. Viewers are encouraged to reflect on the emotional power of these images of Black resistance and mobility.
