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

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.

He said he expects a crowd
