Waves of Strength

Portraits of African American Shipyard Workers from Tidewater Virginia 

In the summer of 2014, photographer artist Glen McClure began his project of documenting the proud men and women who work to support a massive industry that defines South Hampton Roads, Virginia.  This exhibition highlights the African Americans included in that series, with high quality prints that allow these individuals to be appreciated as personalities, shown clearly and sharply with captions that add depth to their stories.
