The Forgotten Photographs of Reconstruction
In-Person Panel featuring Anne Cross, Matthew Fox-Amato, Aston Gonzalez, Elizabeth Keto and Kimberly-Wallace Sanders
October 21st, 2025 at 5:30 PM ET
This panel explores the role that photography played in the aftermath of American slavery. Anne Cross explores an 1866 photo used to document violence against a formerly enslaved person, while Elizabeth Keto investigates the history of anti-lynching photography. Kimberly Wallace-Sanders sheds new light on portrait photographs of black caretakers and white children, and Aston Gonzalez reinterprets the widely circulated “Radical Members of the So. Ca. Legislature.” Matthew Fox-Amato will speak to frame the essays. With particular attention to Black history, race, and racism, this panel breaks new ground in our understanding of photography’s place in the racial politics of the Reconstruction era.
