'Mugshot Portraits: Women of the Montgomery Bus Boycott (Euretta F. Adair)' on view at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture

Gifted to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture by Cheryl and Charles Ward, Mugshot Portraits: Women of the Montgomery Bus Boycott (Euretta F. Adair) is on view in Reckoning: Protest. Defiance. Resilience. The exhibition tells stories of injustice, resistance and courage—and looks at the ways in which visual art has long provided its own protest, commentary, escape and perspective for African Americans. The portrait is based on the mugshot taken after her arrest on February 21, 1956 for her role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Also presented through Smithsonian Hi—a digital museum experience that allows visitors to engage with museum objects beyond the physical museum.
