The Black Civil War Soldier Exhibit
New York University Kimmel Windows Gallery presents The Black Civil War Soldier, opening October 27th and on view through February 2023 on the corner of Washington Square East and West 4th Street, visible 24/7.
The Black Civil War Soldier is curated by Deborah Willis, chair of NYU Tisch’s Department of Photography and Imaging, and is based on a book of the same name published by NYU Press.
Portraits of black soldiers, whether taken in a photographic studio, on a battleground, or on a campground, are connected to the concept of democracy and citizenship expressed by abolitionist and orator Frederick Douglass.
In this exhibition, Willis seeks to engage that sense of activism and highlight the various acts of courage by black men and women, both bonded and free, during the Civil War, as well as the rewards they received. These are experiences shared by all the soldiers, no matter their backgrounds.

The Office of JD Admissions invites prospective applicants who identify as U.S. Military Veterans to hear from current students who are members of SERV (Students for the Education and Representation of Veterans), NYU Law's U.S. Military Veteran student group. Most importantly, prospective students will have an opportunity to ask questions that will help them prepare for the process of applying to law school. Please register by Monday, November 7th; if you're unable to attend, we invite you to connect with NYU Law Admissions at one of our other virtual or in-person events this fall.
