Specials through Saturday Sept. 19th, 1992 Thursday, September 17 1992 Texas A&M University ARTS & ENTERTAINMENTThe Battalion Page; Photo exhibit shows early Reggae band returns undeit new name African-American culture 1 By JULIE POLSTON feature Writer of THE BATTALION The current photography exhibit at the Sterling C. Evans Library depicts African-American life in the United States from ballet dancers to businessmen, newlyweds to soldiers, young children to cowboys. "Images of the Past - A Photographic Study of Things That Once Were" is composed of original photos from the private collections of Brazos Valley families. The pictures were enlarged and repro duced by photographers Sunny Nash and J.R. Mac. Nash is publisher and editor-in-chief of "Legacy" magazine, a periodical published in Hearne and ded icated to the study of African-American family, life and history. She said she feels the exhibit is impor tant because it offers people a new and different per spective on African-American culture. "The reason for the exhibit is to celebrate a differ ent kind of image of African-Americans," Nash said. "Most people think of African-Americans in a much different manner than those people display with their cars, hats, clothing and jewelry." The pictures show poverty and hard times as well as wealth and material possessions. "We were not aware that there was so much wealth in the African-American community during the 1930s in the midst of the depression," Nash said. "They understand very, very well how to live on next to nothing." Nash said the photos are a gfeat way to teach peo ple about another culture because people like to look at pictures rather than read. "With this exhibit, people will see that people are all the same," she said. "We end up seeing a lot more of our similarities than differences." Nash said she hopes the exhibit will teach stu dents about the African-American culture, and allow them to view all African-Americans in a more posi tive light. "I hope they will take away a different impression of African-Americans," she said. "I hope they will take away a higher regard for African-Americans than some people have." Nash said she had the idea for the exhibit about seven years ago. She said she has been gathering This 1920 photo, titled "Couple in the Woods" is a part of the library’s photo exhibit now on display. material for two years with Mac, a free-lance photog rapher from Dallas who reproduces the photos. "People have been really wonderful about repro ducing their pictures," Nash said. "They want other people to know about them." Mac, creative director and chief photographer for "Legacy," has reproduced hundreds of family pho tos. The oldest photograph in the collection, a Civil War-era wedding picture of former slaves, was taken around 1865. "It is very important for families to have their photographs professionally reproduced," he said. "Photographs help us to preserve our history." The exhibit, which is located on the first floor of the library by the elevators, will be on display until Oct. 31. r o u n J T o uj n By SUSAN OWEN Assi.
