Black History & Culture: Revolutionary Legacies

In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, Bethany Arts Community’s 6th Annual Award-winning Black History & Culture Exhibit: Revolutionary Legacies. explores how African Americans have defined, and redefined freedom from 1776 to today. Each gallery is rooted in a line from the Declaration of Independence, showing how Black people have continually challenged the nation to live up to its founding ideals.  

Through art, artifacts, photography, storytelling, and interactive installations, this exhibit honors the spirit of revolution, resilience, and representation that continues to shape our culture. From the battlefield to the way we dressed to command dignity, from innovation to influence, Black Americans have been, and remain, the true trendsetters of freedom and style.  

Curated by Ossining Village Historian, Joyce Sharrock Cole. Additional experiences available for a fee.
