Exhibits

The Spartanburg County Public Libraries presents "Breakthrough in Black: African American Cinema from the 1920s-1950s," a traveling exhibition that highlights the groundbreaking work of early Black filmmakers, actors, and producers. On display from August 23 to October 18, the exhibition brings attention to a vital yet often overlooked chapter in American film history and showcases the creativity and fortitude of the artists who forged their own paths in an era of widespread segregation and limited opportunity.
