Exhibit Closing Reflections: An Island Looks Back

Join the Coronado Historical Association as we reflect on the closing of the exhibit, An Island Looks Back: Uncovering Coronado's Hidden African-American History. From County proclamations to national media coverage, the exhibit has prompted extraordinary connections and conversations. Kevin Ashley, guest curator and local historian, and Vickie Stone, CHA's Curator of Collections, will reflect on the exhibit's impact on the Coronado community and beyond.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the advisory members whose support made this exhibit possible, including Kevin Ashley, May Brouhard, Bobby Brown, David Grant-Williams, Palma Lawrence Reed, James Love, Claudia Ludlow, Susan Marrinan, Fern Nelson, Yvette Porter Moore, Asante Sefa-Boakye, Jason Sevier, and Brad Willis. Their commitment to preserving and sharing these stories ensures that Coronado's rich history is accessible to all. We also want to thank the City of Coronado for partially funding the exhibit through the Community Grant Program.
