Black Chrome
September 25, 2008 - April 12, 2009
Black Chrome provides an invaluable opportunity to gain a broader understanding of the contributions African Americans have made to motorcycle culture, mechanical technology and aesthetics since World War II. Through photos, interviews, objects and motorcycles that range from choppers to drag bikes, this California focused exhibition spotlights the innovations and creativity that have significantly changed the landscape of American motorcycling and gives an in-depth glimpse into this growing and little documented segment of African American culture.
The exhibition is a collaborative project funded by the Automobile Club of Southern California and Friends, The Foundation of the California African American Museum.
