Men of Change Exhibit

Levine Museum and The Gantt Center of African-American Arts + Culture are jointly hosting the touring exhibition Men of Change: Power. Triumph. Truth.

Men of Change: Power. Triumph. Truth. profiles the revolutionary men—including Muhammad Ali, James Baldwin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, W.E.B Du Bois, and Kendrick Lamar—whose journeys have altered the history and culture of the country. The achievements of the men are woven within the legacy and traditions of the African American journey—achievements of excellence in spite of society’s barriers.
Through literary and historic quotes, poetry, original works of art, dramatic photographs, and a dynamic space that encourages self-reflection, this innovative exhibition weaves together the historical and the contemporary to illuminate the importance of these men within the context of rich community traditions. It invites visitors to consider predominant narratives and engage in the authentic stories of history, politics, art, culture, and activism.
Men of Change Exhibition

Together, Levine Museum and The Gantt will share the stories of these revolutionary men. Told across seven themes, Levine Museum will display Catalysts, Myth-Breakers, and Community and The Gantt will display Storytellers, Fathering, and Imagining; both museums will display Loving.

It will be FREE to visit the exhibition at both locations. It will be there through March 12th, 2023.
