The Woodson African American Museum of Florida is exploring the topic of African American labor.
From now until March 29, the museum will offer an exhibit focused on the value of African American labor, as well as its frequent invisibility in society.
The exhibit features the work of artists Krystle Lemonias and Sharon Norwood.
Lemonias’ works often depicts what she observed with her mother, who worked for years as a nanny.
“(In that job) she’s visible and invisible at the same time,” Lemonias recalled, saying many African Americans were undervalued and underpaid, despite doing crucial jobs. "I don’t want my family’s contributions to be erased.
The exhibit is free. The Woodson African American Museum of Florida is located at 2240 9th Avenue S, in St. Petersburg.
