Woodruff Library, Emory University 540 Asbury Circle, Atlanta, GA 30322-2870 Here's a review of the exhibit in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:  http://www.ajc.com/news/lifestyles/emory-lands-treasure-trove-of-african-american-pho/nQW6N/ "The stories tumble from boxes, burst from gilded frames, seep from sheaths of clear plastic, rising, floating and filling the room. Thousands upon thousands of stories, rendered not in words but in images embossed on thin slips of fragile tin, pulpy yellowed card stock and glossy sheets of paper.They begin their narrative, during photography's earliest days, with a snapshot of a lynching. From there, sepia-toned picture by sepia-toned picture, they spin a visual yarn documenting more than a century of African American setbacks and achievements."
