Exhibition guides for the Museum of East Tennessee History exhibit “Black & White: Knoxville in the Jim Crow Era” featuring the stories of African American artists Beauford and Joseph Delaney and Ruth Cobb Brice.

However, due to the ETHC closing due to COVID-19 concerns from March 21 through August 1, the exhibit’s run was extended through February 14, 2021.
