CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - A single picture can tell you a thousand words. That’s what the University of Virginia is hoping to do with a new exhibit that features thousands of images of portraits of African-Americans during the time of the Jim Crow era in central Virginia.
The Holsinger Studio Collection is opening at UVA’s Small Special Collections Library Thursday, September 22.
The co-director of the exhibit says these pictures will tell many stories about the people in them.
