Photography exhibit highlights Morris Brown history at Savannah Black Heritage Festival

SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) -

A new art exhibit by photographer Andrew Feiler is on display at the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.

The exhibit is called "Without Regard to Sex, Race, or Color: The Past, Present, and Future of One Historically Black College".  The photographs highlight a proud past, a challenging present and an uncertain future for Morris Brown College. The exhibit is part of Savannah State University's Black Heritage Festival.

"My voice as a photographer has been shaped by the rich complexities of the American South and being a minority in the South," Feiler said. "History, culture, geography, race, justice, progress and those are the themes that I'm interested in and historically black colleges and universities are a really, really important Southern story."

The art exhibit will be on display through March. To see the complete schedule for the Savannah Black Heritage Festival.
