Event Description

As part of Black History Month events taking place on campus, CSU, Chico will mount the nation's first formal exhibit of historical photos of predominantly African American citizens taken in Lincoln, Nebraska between 1910-25.

These photo works, part of the Douglas Keister Collection of Glass Plate Negatives, 1910-25, will be displayed publicly for the first time February 1-24 in the Humanities Center Gallery in an exhibition entitled Black and White in Black and White.

Keister has put a web site online with examples of some of the photos that will be displayed; it is at http://bit.ly/y0vjTc. A YouTube video by Keister with more information on these historical photos can be found at http://bit.ly/uuWBnn.
