The Central Library is one of only 50 sites across the United States
to host this notable traveling exhibition that explores through images
the historical context of the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation and the
1963 March on Washington. The traveling exhibition is sponsored by the
Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture
and the National Museum of American History, in collaboration with the
American Library Association and the National Endowment for the
Humanities.
The Los Angeles Public Library has supplemented the
exhibit with images from its Shades of L.A. and Rolland Curtis
Collections, capturing a peek at the everyday lives of African American
communities in the first half of the 20th century, after the signing of
the Emancipation Proclamation and leading up to the March on Washington.
The exhibit and related programs are free.
