Working the Waters: Black Mariners on the Hudson River 1800s
May 1 @ 10:00 am - July 31 @ 6:00 pm
Our Black Experience Exhibit Series features stories that illuminate Black history in the Capital Region and beyond. Designed to travel, the pop-up exhibits move from one community space to the next, ensuring Black history remains visible and accessible. The series aims to inform and inspire, connecting audiences with forgotten narratives that reshape how history is understood today.Our first exhibit Working the Waters explores the lives and labor of Black men and women who worked on ships, built communities, and navigated freedom. The exhibit invites visitors to re-imagine life on the Hudson River and the histories that unfolded upon it.
Working the Waters is on view now through July 31st at the Alice Moore Black Arts and Cultural Center. https://www.alicemoorecenter.org/
