Description: "This seven-city touring exhibition was created by the Rhode Island School of Design, with Valencia Hollins Coar of the Black Woman Collaborative in Chicago as curator. Her primary purpose, Miss Coar has said, is to show that black photographers have always been in the photographic mainstream, exhibiting and winning prizes as early as the 1850's, and that to omit them and their contributions from the history of photography in this country is willful."
