A Black-owned gallery in Atlanta is opening to the public to feature the work of civil rights-era photographers and artists from the Black Lives Matter generation alike.
Devin Allen admits that he occasionally behaved like a knucklehead, growing up in Baltimore. But he was not so irreverent as a tenth grader that he could see an image of Emmett Till's open casket and not find it arresting.
Allen's photographs highlighting the effects of police brutality on Baltimore's Black community are part of the new"Impact of Images" campaign, inspired by the power of photographs like the ones of Emmett printed nearly 70 years ago in Jet magazine. The exhibit, curated by Lead With Love, is in collaboration with the studio and production company behind the biopic"Till," which goes into wide release Friday.
"It doesn't matter who you are, whether you're a notable figure or someone walking down the street like, your existence is enough," the Brooklyn-based photographer said."That is the importance of showing that flip side of just us being." "And so once that image was ingrained in my head, it made me understand Emmett Till's image," she said.
"They would not be able to visualize what had happened, unless they were allowed to see the result of what had happened. They had to see what I had seen," Till-Mobley said in a 2003 memoir."The whole nation had to bear witness." Jet discontinued its print edition in 2014, but president Daylon Goff said the now-digital brand continues to promote its legacy as the outlet that fearlessly told Emmett's story.
Years later, after his wife and another prominent voice from the Ferguson protests, Brittany Packnett-Cunningham, gave birth prematurely to their son, he documented their bond. Those black-and-white photos are part of the image collection.
