May 15 – October 5, 2014
Temporary Exhibition Gallery
This exhibition examined the historic role of African Americans on our nation’s expanding frontier. In this body of work, Williams addressed complex social interactions that occurred between Black, European, Hispanic and Native Americans, particularly in the West. The icons and imagery used by the artist, rooted in the urban context of his native Chicago, reveal the layers of cultural heritage we share as Americans. Booth Museum was proud to partner with Africa Atlanta 2014, a city wide year-long celebration of cultural and economic bonds among African, European, and American cultures, on this exhibit.
