'Ghosts of Segregation' photo exhibit uncovers dark history of America's landscapes at CDC museum

During the career of American photographer Richard Frishman, he’s captured scenes of Americana from shore to shore – poignant, beautiful, and sometimes nostalgic.

But along his journeys, Frishman came to feel there was something terrible lurking underneath so many picturesque landscapes and scenes of daily life.

From this realization, an ambitious documentary project took shape – “Ghosts of Segregation.” Over several years, Richard Frishman has extensively researched and traveled across the U.S. to examine the dark history of American landscapes.
