Celebrate Black History Month with the Center for Black Visual Culture

The CBVC Black Rest Project Advisory Council and Picturing Black History Initiative collaborated on a visit to the Getty Archive in Iron Mountain. Organized by Dr. Nicholas Breyfogle, together we searched for images of black rest.

Our findings included but were not limited to photographs of baptisms, coal miners, and the restorative power of water within black communities. Photographs by Paul McAllister.
