The six photographers shown in this exhibition – Wayne Miller, Ray K. Metzker, Marvin E. Newman, Vivian Maier, Tom Arndt, and Carlos Javier Ortiz – are covering a period of photography which goes from 1940 to today. They have neither the same process nor the same eye. Each of them bring us a different vision of this Afro-American community coming to Chicago from the South with the hope of greater freedom and more dignified work. These photographs are a deeply moving and highly artistic testimony of the lives of black people in Chicago spanning more than a half-century.
