This exhibit displayed the effects of Jim Crow law and how legalized racial segregation was created, walking through the exhibition we can see that the curators began with background information of the primary characters during the age of Jim Crow. Then it proceeds to explain how it affected different locations by separating them into compass directions. This allows the curators to force the visitors to view the arts in chronological order, giving the audience perspective from beginning to end. For example at the entrance of the exhibit, we are shown a portrait of Dred Scott, who was a slave that was famous for suing for his freedom. Then we proceed onto how the civil war finally led to the end of slavery, however, we all know that was not the end. The abolishment of the civil war only led to the creation of segregation, where blacks were racially separated from other people on certain activities. This was not much different from slavery besides the fact that they receive “freedom”, the blacks were heavily criticized and in most cases treated unfairly compared to whites. The exhibit showed examples of lynchings where black men were hung to death in public simply because the white believed they had done something illegal under racial law, and due to racial prejudice the whites were rarely punished for their factions. The curator wanted to show us what black people have been through despite regaining their freedom, and how they were still treated inhumanely despite the promise of fair treatment under the constitution. At the end of the exhibition, we are shown relics of the past symbolizing the change throughout history and it shows what was a divided country was able to come together through art, protest, and power.
