An exhibition at the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library in Winterthur, DE inspired by the writing of 19th-century free Black journalist and educator William J. Wilson recreates his "Afric-American Picture Gallery." The author leads a tour of the artworks that both celebrate and critique the experience of free and enslaved Black Americans in the 19th century.
Go behind the scenes in this video, courtesy of Winterthur, about how the exhibition came to be and was realized at the museum.
Born free in or around 1818 in New Jersey, Wilson lived much of his adult life in Brooklyn and then Washington, D.C. He was a frequent contributor to Black periodicals in the 1840s and 50s. As a Brooklyn correspondent for “Frederick Douglass’ Paper,” he wrote about people, places, and the cultural scene.
