An exhibit at New York University's Kimmel Center highlights Black heroes from the Civil War. TVJessi shows us these windows through time.
- Walking through Washington Square Park, you can see a variety of historical figures and features on display. Across the street outside the New York Universty Kimmel Center right now, another exhibit highlights the history of Black heroes from the Civil War.
"These were men who were not, quote, citizens at the time, but they stood in front of an American flag, and they stood with a sense of pride and sense of purpose," said Willis. "The first person who was wounded in the war," Willis said, describing a photo of Nick Biddle,"he was hit in Baltimore and hit by a rock. He kept the bloody handkerchief and used this as a narrative to tell his story.""The sad part about this experience also is that many men, Black and white, when they died, they were holding family photographs in their hands," Willis said."There were no Black photographers in my history books," Willis remembered.
