Over the last few years, we have hosted several mixed media exhibits focusing on African American poetry. The exhibits often feature photographs from the Eugene B. Redmond Collection and audio recordings of poets reading their works. We have added instrumentals to many of the recordings to complement the musicality of the pieces.
