Hugh mangum on view at the DeLand Museum

In collaboration with ACA Galleries in New York.

Please enjoy the images of works by photographer Hugh Mangum as installed at the DeLand Museum, the exhibit continuing through June 12th.

Working from 1897 to 1922, in Jim Crow North Carolina and Virginia, Mangum unusually welcomed sitters of all races and persuasions with equal dignity at a time when segregation and racial violence were the order of the day. Mangum’s glass negatives were rediscovered fifty years after his death in a barn slated for demolition, his immense talent finally brought back to life by Margaret Sartor and Alex Harris in the Where We Find Ourselves edition.
