Until Freedom Comes: The African American Experience in Newport News
The Until Freedom Comes interactive wall exhibit is a comprehensive piece that chronicles the history of African Americans in Newport News from 1623 to the present day. Covering historical periods from slavery, the Civil War, Jim Crow, and Reconstruction as well as contemporary events in local African American history, the exhibit strives to place local events within the context of a national framework.
This exhibit was co-designed through the mutual effort of the Newport News Public Library’s Virginiana Room team. Apart from being a graphic designer on this project, I also acted as lead consultant and creator of all interactive media and designer of the exhibit booklet.
