Opening this fall at the McMullen Museum
of Art, the exhibit Reflections in Black will offer
African-American photography from the Smithsonian collection,
documenting civil rights activism from the 1950s to the end
of the 20th century. The 1968 photo above by Ernest C. Withers
shows a sanitation workers' strike in Memphis, Tennessee,
and what would be Martin Luther King, Jr.'s last march. The
exhibit will run from September 26 to December 7. For information,
call (617) 552-8587, or visit the museum Web site: www.bc.edu/artmuseum
