Claiming Citizenship

African Americans in New Deal Photography

Exhibition and panel discussion, with Sara Blair (English) and Joshua Miller (English). The title of the panel is "New Deal Visualities: Figures of Difference in Photographic Claims to Citizenship."

Curated by Ricki Sollinger, a historian of race, reproduction, and citizenship in the United States, this exhibition of New Deal photographs illustrates a number of ways that African Americans took opportunities opened up by the New Deal to claim their status as citizens, in some respects laying foundations for the Civil Rights Movement. Thus, the exhibition also explores (implicitly and explicitly) the constituent elements of "citizenship."
