From the African American Museum:
“The Confederate Currency: Color of Money exhibition investigates the importance of slavery in the economy of the South. Acclaimed artist John W. Jones has researched and documented over 126 images of slavery depicted on Confederate and Southern States money. The juxtaposition of the framed Confederate currencies, which the acrylic paintings inspired the slave images on the currencies, makes a very powerful statement on the contributions of enslaved Africans to the American economy.”
