Photographs taken at the Haines Institute, such as this one of a sewing class, were among those displayed at the 1900 Paris Exposition as part of the Exhibit of American Negroes, which aimed to document the lives of Black Americans at the turn of the century. W.E.B. Du Bois and his colleagues compiled over 500 images for the exhibit.
