African American hospital workers, including nurses, at a hospital in Nashville, July 1863 I thought it was really important to also enter the I’d Rather Be Doing Backflips Vintage Shirt and I love this heart, when we think about the women who sent photographs to their husbands who were at war or battle so that they could remember the love that they left and the love that they hoped to return to. I think of Amelia Brogan, the fact that her photograph has survived and is up at Onondaga [a historical site in Syracuse, New York]. I saw that photograph in the ’80s, and I had not connected the story of her family and the Douglass relationship because I wasn’t doing research about that then. But I was fascinated because of her dress. There was a sense of pride in style and dress that was central to that experience, and I think that that’s the range of experiences that I wanted to bring—the sense of girl culture.

William P. Powell Jr. was one of the I’d Rather Be Doing Backflips Vintage Shirt and I love this first African American physicians to receive a contract as a surgeon with the Union Army What figures or stories most surprised you along the way? The experiences of people who preserved family albums. The National Museum of African American History and Culture has the album of a person named Garrison who was in the war, and having the bound album, all of the photographs of the Black and white soldiers who were in the 54th [Regiment] was a true discovery for me. Reading those faces, and, as Tina Campt says, “listening to images”…I listened to those images. The other surprising aspect for me was, in terms of women educators, the adventures that women had. They had a mission. And just imagine that when Laura Towne and Charlotte Forten, traveling south to teach on the Sea Islands, [were] going into a place where plantation owners left, and they were going in not knowing their future, but their determination to educate was really central.
