SUMMARY:Special Exhibit: Honoring Charles Alston\, Artist & Activist
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit in recognition of Black History Month honoring Charles Henry Alston\, a celebrated African American artist and activist whose impactful work during World War II mobilized the African American community. This exhibit will open Tuesday\, February 4\, 2025 and will be on display at the museum until Saturday\, March 1.  The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm and there is no charge for admission.   \nCharles Henry Alston (1907–1977) was an artist who used his talents to inspire change and support the US war effort. Alston was the first African American supervisor for the Works Progress Administration’s (WPA) Federal Art Project and he created the iconic bust of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\, which resides in the Oval Office. During WWII he also served as a member of the Office of War Information.  \nDuring World War II\, Alston created motivational posters and illustrations aimed at African American audiences\, highlighting topics such as conserving resources\, growing victory gardens\, and supporting the war effort through unity and action. His work celebrated the accomplishments of notable African American individuals\, such as Willa Brown\, the first African American woman pilot in the United States\, and also fostered pride within the community. \nThe exhibit will feature reproductions of Alston’s wartime illustrations and posters\, along with details about his achievements\, including promoting the arts and art education in Harlem and the US. Visitors will gain insight into how Alston’s art helped boost wartime morale and promoted African American contributions to the war effort. \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information\, contact Camp Gordon Johnston Museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.
