Senior Alumni Committee Hosts Museum Outing

Another Dalton School Alumni Council Senior Committee Adventure: 
Curator-led tour of Black is Beautiful: The Photography of Kwame Brathwaite at 
The New-York Historical Society

The Senior Alumni Committee Event on Wednesday, October 19 to the New-York Historical Society provided a fascinating look at Harlem in the ’50s and ’60s through the extraordinary lens of Kwame Brathwaite, an influential activist for Civil Rights. The exhibit is entitled Black Is Beautiful: The Photography of Kwame Brathwaite.

Our tour guide, Curator Marilyn Kushner, a scholar, and a historian, talked about the changes that emerged in Harlem, as a result of Brathwaite, his family, and a small circle of talented friends. Brathwaite’s son Kwame S. Brathwaite graduated from Dalton in 1992.

Following the tour, we enjoyed a relaxing and enjoyable lunch at Storico Restaurant. Hope you will join us on our next adventure.
