/ Knowledge is Power by Jamel Shabazz, 1980, taken in Brooklyn, New York City, is one of many pieces on display in the Vision & Spirit exhibit at the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts + Culture in Charlotte.
A new exhibition at the Harvey B. Gantt Center For African-American Arts + Culture wants to show just how important resilience is to Black history.
“Vision & Spirit,” which formally opened to the public Friday, has works by creatives with high profiles, like groundbreaking photographer Gordon Parks and artist Romare Bearden, who grew up in Charlotte. And there are photographs and depictions of giants of American history, too, like Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman and Muhammad Ali.
