The beginning of the 20th-century was a time of great promise and hope for race relations in America. This optimistic era was fueled by what was known at the time as the “New Negro Movement,” a period which set the stage for the Harlem Renaissance. No one better captured the essence of this time of advancement than African American photographer John Johnson. Come see his photographs and artifacts on display at Legacy Museum on Main from August 3, 2024 – January 26, 2025.

Black and White in Black and White: Images of Dignity, Hope and Diversity in America is curated by Douglas Keister, presented with support from California State University, Chino, and traveled by Exhibit Envoy.
