Over-the-Rhine in the 1970s
A Journey into a Unique Cincinnati neighborhood
This show presents a selection of photographs from a recently published book by local photographer, Stephen Albert. The 96 black-and-white photos in the book focus on Over-the-Rhine and its inhabitants during the 1970s.
By then, the German immigrants who gave the neighborhood its name had long since moved to the verdant streets on Cincinnati’s hilltop districts. They were replaced by Appalachian migrants who were being joined by blacks relocating from the West End when their homes were being demolished. These new residents of Over-the-Rhine worked, played and cared for their families—often under harsh physical and economic conditions but otherwise in much the same way as other Americans. Many of the people in these photos eagerly posed as they wanted to be seen, often revealing their concerns and interests. The streetscapes and shop windows in the selection give clues to the cultural context of these residents.
The book will be available from the publisher, Orange Frazer Press (www.orangefrazer.com), Amazon.com and at local bookstores in mid- to late-October.
