Family

Family ties run deep and wide within the Black community of Beloit. Family is not exclusively forged through blood ties, but also through the experience of Beloit, in schools, sports, and local get-togethers. Oral histories and depictions of family life in photo albums help reveal the importance of family to the recently migrated Black community in Beloit.

This exhibit was created by Beloit College Students Eva Laun-Smith (2021), George Jacobsen (2019), and Rosebud Johnson (2020)
