Our warfare lies in the field of thought,” proclaimed the 1847 National Convention of Colored People held in Troy, NY.</p><p><em>Black Print</em> draws on Cornell’s rich Africana Rare and Manuscript Collections to highlight the many ways Black Americans have used print and the press as spaces for artistic expression, communication and organizing, antislavery activism, humor, education, civil rights, and imagining new worlds. These items, ranging from poetry collections and autobiographies to novels and newspapers, showcase early African American literature and Black artistic expression, what Dorothy Porter described as the “beginnings of the Afro-American’s artistic consciousness.”</p><p><em>Black Print </em>offers a snapshot of a robust community of writers thinking actively about Black life and Black art—the beautiful and the sublime, politics and popular culture—primarily through periodicals, pamphlets, and other ephemeral forms. Featured are works held in Cornell University Library’s Rare and Manuscript Collections by Phillis Wheatley, Frederick Douglass, Frances E. W. Harper, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Sojourner Truth, and many more.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-508a5db elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="508a5db" data-element_type="section" aria-label="Featured Online Exhibitions"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9584337" data-id="9584337" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-42915ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="42915ed" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h3 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default"><p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Recent Exhibitions<span style=", sans-serif;font-size: 1.25rem"></span></p></h3> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-6c02a05 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="6c02a05" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>We also host many of our current and past exhibitions online, including those featured here.

Dr. Brothers was omnipresent in American media for over 50 years. A natural-born entertainer, she was first and foremost a mental health professional—often referred to as “the mother of media psychology”—who sought to do the most good for the largest number of people. The professional advice she offered to Americans in the comfort of their own living rooms helped normalize therapy and the public discussion of mental health, once deemed too private for broadcast television.</p><p style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Brothers graduated from Cornell University in 1947 and began donating her material to the Cornell archives in 1987.

The photography also created the greatest difficulties for the magazine’s circulation at a moment when many feminist leaders decried pornographic photographs and film as a form of violence against women. This exhibition presents original photographs created for <i>On Our Backs </i>during its first decade. Made by staffers and freelancers, professionals and amateurs, members of the magazine’s inner circle and its far-flung readership, they convey the fantasies, imagination, humor, rigor, radicalism, political engagement, and ethos of community-building and inclusion that defined <i>On Our Backs </i>and made it a touchstone in the queer press. Additional photographs and documents elucidate the political and erotic contexts into which the magazine emerged, the women behind it, and their business practices and strategies. All materials are drawn from Cornell Library’s <a href="/human-sexuality-collection/">Human Sexuality Collection</a>.</span></span><span class="m_-8573007792118132436eop"> </span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </article> </main> <footer> <div class="footer__nav"> <div class="all-libraries"> <a href="https://www.library.cornell.edu/libraries"> <span class="fa fa-arrow-left" aria-hidden="true"></span> Libraries and Hours </a> | <a href="https://www.library.cornell.edu/ask"> Ask a Librarian </a> </div> <nav aria-label="footer navigation"> <div class="menu-footer-container"><ul id="footer-menu" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-59" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-home menu-item-59"><a href="https://rare.library.cornell.edu/">Home</a></li> <li id="menu-item-73" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-73"><a href="https://rare.library.cornell.edu/about/">About</a></li> <li id="menu-item-2394" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-2394"><a href="https://rare.library.cornell.edu/collections/">Collections</a></li> <li id="menu-item-2395" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-2395"><a href="https://rare.library.cornell.edu/use-the-library/">Use the Library</a></li> <li id="menu-item-2396" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page current-menu-item page_item page-item-803 current_page_item menu-item-2396"><a href="https://rare.library.cornell.edu/exhibitions/" aria-current="page">Exhibitions</a></li> <li id="menu-item-491" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-491"><a href="https://rare.library.cornell.edu/making-a-gift-to-rmc/">Making a Gift to RMC</a></li> <li id="menu-item-2502" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-2502"><a href="https://confluence.cornell.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=90087303">Staff Wiki</a></li> </ul></div> </nav> </div>   <address class="library"> <div class="container"> <div class="c-1"> <p>CONTACT</p> <p><strong>Rare and Manuscript Collections</strong><br> 2B Carl A.
