Abstract:

For 145 years, a church’s annual camps have been promoting unity in an African American community thirty minutes from Charlotte. Two photographers, one having attended the camps during childhood, have been capturing Tucker Grove’s communal spirit. From her new perspective of the experience, Minuette Floyd began encouraging church members to take pictures, albeit for another purpose: document family history.
