Two years in the making - "Black Hands White Houses: Black Writers of the Twentieth Century" takes a diverse look at more than five decades of printed materials by, for and about African-Americans. The exhibition contains more than 500 titles of fiction, non-fiction, pulp fiction, propaganda, guidebooks, pamphlets and periodicals.
Included are big name authors such as Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, and Maya Angelou but also many rare, hard-to-find and obscure titles offering viewers a fresh and exciting chance to re-examine the power of the black experience as seen through the eyes of those who write about it.
