THE TEST: The Tuskegee Project May 26, 2012 - September 30, 2012
This traveling exhibition tells the story of the first African American aviation
units in the U.S. military to serve in combat. It examines the major campaigns and
operations in which the Tuskegee Airmen
of the 99th FS and the 332nd FG participated,
the aircraft they used, and the prejudice
and racism they faced during a time when
many doubted African Americans were fit
to serve as fighter pilots. NAAM is excited
to announce that The Test will also honor
members of the local Sam Bruce Chapter of
the Tuskegee Airman, Inc.
Bearing Witness from Another Place:
James Baldwin in Turkey
Photographs by Sedat Pakay October 20, 2012 – September 29, 2013
This exhibition shares rarely seen photographs of
James Baldwin in Turkey taken by his friend Sedat
Pakay. Piercingly intimate and beautifully candid, these
images capture the vibrant world of acquaintances,
friends and collaborators Baldwin cultivated while
living intermittingly in Turkey from 1961-1971.
