For All the World to See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights
Center for Art Design and Visual Culture

For All the World to See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights, organized by the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture in partnership with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture and curated by Maurice Berger, is the first comprehensive museum exhibition to explore the historic role played by visual images in shaping, influencing, and transforming the fight for civil rights in the United States.

Through a host of media—including photographs, television and film, magazines, newspapers, posters, books, and pamphlets—the project explores the historic role of visual culture in shaping, influencing, and transforming the fight for racial equality and justice in the United States from the late-1940s to the mid-1970s. For All the World to See includes a traveling exhibition, website, online film festival, and richly illustrated companion book.

An opening reception will be held on Thursday, November 15 from 5 to 7 pm.

Admission to the exhibition is free. The Center for Art Design and Visual Culture is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm and is located in the Fine Arts Building. For more information call 410-455-3188.
