Unfinished songs: three exhibitions at Philadelphia's Afro-American museum
Article Abstract:
The three exhibitions at Philadelphia's Afro-American Historical and Cultural Museum capture the contemporary Afro-American life. They vividly show the private and public livesof Afro-Americans as well as their numerous social activities. The photographs present the inequality that persists in the American society. The struggle for the recognition of Afro-American rights is also depicted in the exhibition. Themigration of Afro-Americans from the South to northern cities is likewise a recurrent theme. The exhibitions are truly worthy of commendation for they present a unique culture that can only be Afro-American.
