This new body of work reflects on Hopper’s family legacy during The Great Migration—the massive 20th-century movement of African Americans from the South to the North and West in search of freedom, safety, and opportunity. Through vibrant portraits and evocative landscapes, Hopper honors the journey of her own parents, Horace and Marie Hopper, who left behind segregation-era Mississippi and Arkansas in the 1950s and headed to Seattle to build a new life.
