From cherished childhood favorites to rare and historic pieces, this exhibit showcases the dolls that have shaped how Black children see themselves. Then, witness the regal elegance of Miss FAMU, where crowns, gowns, and memorabilia trace the legacy of the university’s queens, celebrating decades of poise, leadership, and Black excellence. Immerse yourself in Sandro Miller’s Crowns, a breathtaking portrait series that pays tribute to Black hair's artistry and cultural significance as a symbol of strength and self-expression. Finally, step into the limitless possibilities of Steve Allen’s Afro-Futurism, where Black heritage and futuristic imagination merge to create a bold, visionary landscape that redefines beauty and identity for generations to come.
