Reflections in Black and White exhibit - Cape Fear Museum - January 30, 2017 - New Hanover County, NC
Reflections in Black and White, features a selection of informal black and white photographs taken by black and white Wilmingtonians after World War II before the Civil Rights movement helped end legalized segregation. Visitors will have a chance to compare black and white experiences and reflect on what people’s lives were like in the region during the latter part of the Jim Crow era.
Examine mid-century cameras and photographic equipment and experience the “thrill” of opening a replica camera store photo envelope, a rare experience in today’s digital world. Flip through some recreated pages from Claude Howell’s scrapbooks, and take your own photograph in a 1950s setting.
Reflections in Black and White features selections from four large photographic collections:
•African American photographer Herbert Howard was a postal worker, a member of the NAACP, and a semi-professional photographer. Cape Fear Museum has a collection of more than 1,000 images he took documenting Wilmington’s black community.
•Artist Claude Howell left an extensive collection of scrapbooks to the Museum. The albums include hundreds of pages with photographs of Howell’s friends, local scenery, and people.
•Student nurse Elizabeth Ashworth attended the James Walker Memorial Hospital School of Nursing right after World War II. Her photographs provide a glimpse of a group of young white women’s lives in the late 1940s.
•In 2012, the Museum acquired a collection of photos that were taken in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and left at the Camera Shop, a downtown business that was a fixture from the late 1910s through the early 1980s.
Historian Jan Davidson explained why the concept behind the exhibit: “The different historical images speak to each other in some fascinating ways. Most of us can see our own lives reflected in the images, We all eat, hang out with friends, and many of us have taken silly pictures of ourselves or our loved ones. These images show our common humanity, and allow us to relate to people in the past as we might relate to a friend.”
Cape Fear Museum hopes the exhibit will spark reflection and conversation about the history of race relations. Davidson states, “When you look at these images as a group, they give us a chance to reflect on how legally-sanctioned racial segregation helped shape people’s daily lives. We want today’s visitors to have a chance to imagine what it felt like to live in a world where Jim Crow laws and attitudes deeply affected the textures of daily life.”

Though constructed in 1912 as the Baxter Hotel, this building, at the heart of Denver’s Five Points community, achieved its prominence in the years following 1929. With its name change and establishment of the Rossonian Lounge, the hotel became one of the most important jazz clubs between St. Louis and Los Angeles. Jazz greats such as Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Nat King Cole, George Shearing, and Dinah Washington stayed at the hotel and entertained in the Rossonian Lounge between their major Denver engagements. These shows were often staged after the musicians finished their scheduled performances at the same Denver hotels that refused them lodging due to the racial segregation existing at the time.
Monroe Elementary, completed in 1927, was one of four segregated black schools operating in Topeka. In 1951 a student of Monroe, Linda Brown, and her father, Oliver Brown, became plaintiffs in a legal battle over racial segregation. The case reached the Supreme Court, where it gained the name Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. In 1954 the Supreme Court determined that the segregation of schools was unconstitutional. In 1992 the Monroe School was designated a National Historic Landmark. Now it is a National Parks Service site committed to educating the public about this landmark case in the struggle for civil rights.

The absurdity of segregation rears its head in many different ways. The state, under Governor Herman Talmadge, put together the Minimum Foundation Program. While it did do a good bit in improving white education around the state, its main purpose was to ward off integration by transforming black education around the state, which had been utterly neglected. Black schools, most of them the equivalent of shacks and scattered everywhere as most counties had done little consolidation, were now brought together in new buildings with new equipment.
J.L. Williams was one of the schools built as a result of the Minimum Foundation Program. It replaced Commerce's earlier school, Johntown, and consolidated all elementary schools on its side of the county (the other half - as well as all high school grades, including those who had been attending Johntown - would attend Bryan in Jefferson).
J.L. Williams is a prime example of the absurdity. The school was completed and opened in 1957. Integration meant that it closed in 1968, a mere 11 years later.
The State School Building Authority's terms stated that the Commerce city school system had to pay the state for 20 years for the two schools it funded them (Commerce High being the other). This was signed in 1955. Therefore, unless terms changed because of integration, Commerce city was paying the state until 1975 for a building that taught children for barely half the terms of the lease.

The ALBERTINA dedicates a retrospective to the Austrian photographer Alfred Seiland (* 1952) with around 80 works. Seiland is one of the first photographers in Austria to work exclusively with color photography, consciously following in the footsteps of the founders of US New Color Photography - Joel Meyerowitz, Stephen Shore, William Eggleston. Internationally, his pictures of famous people caused a stir for a campaign of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
In his documentary photographs, Seiland explores cultural landscapes and develops an independent aesthetic: to this day, he photographs his motifs, which are always precisely composed in terms of colors and moods of light, in analogue method. For his earliest series, East Coast - West Coast, atmospherically dense images of vast landscapes, streets and neon signs are created in the USA. Travels lead him, inter alia, to Syria, Iran and Turkey, to Egypt and Greece. The territory of the ancient Roman Empire is at the center of the Imperium Romanum series, which sheds light on the tension between the Ancient and the Modern. The works of the Werkgruppe Österreich (Group of Work Austria) are characterized by their characteristic view of their own homeland.
The exhibition will be on view from June 13th to October 7th, 2018.
Die ALBERTINA widmet dem österreichischen Fotografen Alfred Seiland (*1952) eine Retrospektive mit rund 80 Werken. Seiland ist einer der ersten Fotografen in Österreich, der ausschließlich mit Farbfotografie arbeitet und sich bewusst auf die Spuren der Begründer der US-amerikanischen New Color Photography – Joel Meyerowitz, Stephen Shore, William Eggleston – begibt. International erregten seine Aufnahmen berühmter Persönlichkeiten für eine Kampagne der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung Aufsehen.
In seinen dokumentarischen Fotografien beschäftigt sich Seiland mit Kulturlandschaften und entwickelt dabei eine eigenständige Ästhetik: Seine in Bezug auf Farben und Lichtstimmung immer exakt komponierten Motive fotografiert er bis heute analog. Für seine früheste Serie East Coast – West Coast entstehen in den USA atmosphärisch dichte Aufnahmen von weiten Landschaften, Straßenzügen und Neonschildern. Reisen führen ihn u.a. nach Syrien, in den Iran und in die Türkei, nach Ägypten und Griechenland. Das Gebiet des antiken Römischen Reiches steht im Zentrum der Serie Imperium Romanum, die das Spannungsverhältnis von Antike und Moderne beleuchtet. Die Arbeiten der Werkgruppe Österreich zeichnen sich durch seinen charakteristischen Blick auf die eigene Heimat aus.
Die Ausstellung ist von 13. Juni bis 7. Oktober 2018 zu sehen.

The “Insular Cases,” decided in 1901 by the same Supreme Court that upheld segregation laws, have no place in modern day America. In these cases the Supreme Court calls people living in U.S. territories “alien” and “savage and restless people,” antiquated notions of racial inferiority that should not be the basis of any contemporary court decisions. The Resolution I introduced last Friday, along with Natural Resources Committee Chair Raúl Grijalva, and Puerto Rico Resident Commissioner Jenniffer González-Colón, Guam Delegate Michael San Nicolas, and Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett recognizes these racist and imperialist assumptions for what they are. H.Res 641 rejects the Insular Cases and affirms the importance of equal rights for Americans everywhere, even in the U.S. insular areas. Nor is this just a feel-good resolution. This month, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the constitutionality of appointments to the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico. Our resolution is a warning to the Court not to use the Insular Cases to base its judgement.
