Join us for the opening reception for our newest exhibit, “Stereotypes: How African Americans Have Been Depicted In Advertising.” It takes place Saturday, February 21, from 2-5 PM at AAHMSNJ at the Stockton University Noyes Arts Garage, 2200 Fairmount Avenue, Atlantic City. This exhibit examines the history of negative depictions of Black Americans as portrayed by several global, national and local companies. Through a compelling display of advertisements, products, and media, this exhibit explores how these representations have shaped and influenced public perception.
"Stereotypes" includes historical artifacts associated with Atlantic City Electric, which were donated by Dr. Stanley Abrams and Larry Frankel. The exhibit was curated by Stockton University students Adrianna Schofield and My’air Henry.
This exhibit will be on display until March 26th.
Sponsorship of the “Stereotypes” exhibit has been generously provided by Atlantic City Electric.
