Austin State University recently had the opportunity to practice their professional skills by photographing a current exhibit at the Stone Fort Museum located on campus. The exhibit, “Cornerstones of the Community: African American History in Eastern Texas,” showcases five years of research and effort gathering information concerning the African American community in Nacogdoches prior to 1900. Artifacts, collections and identifying objects such as quilts and tools are showcased throughout the museum on both the first and second floors. The exhibit is designed to further visitors’ understanding of African American roles in the development of the East Texas region by exemplifying the universal desire for freedom, faith and family.
