"Serving the Community: Black Activism in the 1970s" documents radical black activities in the '70s through a series of photographs taken by acclaimed photographer and activist Alan Pogue. These photographs illustrate the connection between problems ailing the community and the corrective actions taken by black activists and radical thinkers, such as those who formed the Community United Front in Austin, Texas.
This exhibit honors those who stepped up to meet their community's needs: Susie & Robert Mathews, key figures in the Community United Front; Anthony Spears, Larry Jackson, Velma Roberts, and Janis Lawson; others who have passed on; and the hundreds more from their era who remain active to this day, continuing to strive for peace with justice.
