Descrizione The Upshaws of County Line
The Upshaws founded the community of County Line in the 1870s in deep East Texas. As with other relatively autonomous black communities, the Upshaws sought a safe place to raise their children and create a livelihood during Reconstruction and Jim Crow Texas. In the late 1980s photographer Richard Orton visited County Line for the first time and became aware of a world he did not know existed. Covering a period of twenty-five years, Orton juxtaposes his images with text from people who grew up in and have remained connected to their birthplace.
