Autumn of Grace
In 2013, Brownsville native and world class art photographer, Jerry Taliaferro added 24 women over the age of 85 from Haywood County to his traveling exhibition titled, Women of a New Tribe. As he describes it, “this exhibition is a photographic study of the physical and spiritual beauty of the Black American Women we see around us every day.” Unique to his exhibit are women from the hosting city. The enlarged prints (16 x 20) of these amazing ladies are a part of the black history art display in Brownsville City Hall titled, Autumn of Grace, for the month of February. This a small sample of the over 1200 photographs taken by Jerry in a single weekend in Carver Gymnasium, March 2013.
