Bound for Glory: America in Color

Bound for Glory: America in Color, an exhibit of photographs showcasing a surprisingly vibrant world that has typically been viewed only through black-and-white images, is on display March 13 – June 6 at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St.

The exhibit features work by photographers such as John Bachon, Jack Delano, and Marion Post Wolcott on behalf of the Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information. They document not only the subjects in the pictures, but also the dawn of the Kodachrome era.

The photographs provide a rarely seen color perspective on the Great Depression and the build up toward World War II.

Bound for Glory was organized by the Library of Congress and made possible by the support of the Durham Western Heritage Museum.
