Description:
Breach of Peace, a companion to the Skirballs exhibition Road to Freedom, displays more than a dozen contemporary portraits by photographer Eric Etheridge of Freedom Riders, who, in 1961, converged on Jackson, Mississippi to challenge state segregation laws. Their noble efforts were met with fierce hostility, and many of the young men and women were arrested and convicted of the charge "breach of the peace." This compelling exhibition displays Etheridges photographs of several Freedom Riders, now senior citizens, alongside their original mug shots. The exhibition examines their involvement in the Civil Rights Movement, takes a look at who they are today, and shares their unique perspectives on that historical period. Breach of Peace originated as part of the High Museum of Arts Road to Freedom exhibition, but has been expanded for the Skirball presentation to encompass related historical objects, including student activist buttons and newspaper clippings.
