ALBANY, N.Y.- The New York State Museum presents Elder Grace: The Nobility of Aging, through April 17, 2005. Through the lens of his camera, celebrated New York Times photographer Chester Higgins, Jr. takes a look at over sixty African-American men and women who found beauty within themselves and are experiencing aging with energy, wit and grace. As our population grows older and begins to sift through and reflect upon life experiences, the inspiring models of Elder Grace are sure to bring comfort and inspiration to many. The exhibition is organized by the New-York Historical Society.
