This exhibition will feature black and white photographs, and memorabilia of the historic Hayti Community of Durham. It will embrace the people, landscape, and architure that made up this dynamic community, which still thrives, today, but much different than before. Take a walk through history and view the beginning, middle, end and resurrection of Hayti. Through the luminous photography of Jeff Dunas, this is a landmark event honoring the men and women who have made this influential art form so powerful. This exhibition is an extraordinary tribute to the inspirational traditions of The Delta Blues and is truly accessible on diverse levels.
