January 31, 2019 - March 10, 2019
A group of well-dressed Black men and women sit around a picnic table outdoors, sharing food and drinks in a wooded area. Two people stand in the background smiling. The scene captures a joyful moment of community and leisure.

Enter the era of the “The New Negro Movement” through the photographs of African American photographer John Johnson. His ennobling portraits, taken from 1910-1925, reveal the dignity and hope of his friends and neighbors during this time of great promise for African Americans. Organized by Exhibit Envoy.
