Self-taught photographer Hugh Mangum was born in 1877 in Durham, North Carolina. As an itinerant portraitist working during the rise of Jim Crow, Mangum photographed a clientele that was racially and economically diverse. His multiple-image, glass plate negatives show us lives marked both by notable affluence and hard work.
