Discovering History within the Menil Collection
Photographed by: Bruce David L. Davidson
The collection includes work from six photographers black and white who risked their lives covering civil rights demonstrations during the 1960s, photographers where beaten and had their cameras smashed.
“These photographers,” said Michelle White the exhibit’s curator. “Were all putting themselves in extremely vulnerable situations.”.
The photographs showed firsthand how these civil rights workers were mistreated.
High emotions were clearly shown on the faces of these workers, who at times where sprayed with high pressured fire hoses which can knock a person off their feet.
“We wanted to bring them out,” White said. “We wanted people to know, we wanted people like classes, and schools, and scholars to come look at the work.”
When asked what she wants people who see the exhibit for the first time to take from that experience.
“I hope it can be inspiring,” White said.
White has been encouraged by these photos and these events that altered the history of America.
“I have always been inspired,” White said. “By these events”
White explained how she began becoming interested in historical events.
“I studied feminism,” White said, explaining her interest in 1960s struggles.
“I was just interested in the fight for women’s rights, which was very much modeled from the civil rights movement,” White said.
White believes that museums play a key role in the development of society.
“I think museums in particular have a role in this world and in this society to present a perspective and change consciousness and make you see things differently,” White said.
The Menil Collection is the host of many photographs and exhibits of art and sculptures.
“A fifth of what we own is on view,” White said. “So we have close to 17,000 objects within the Menil Collection.”
