Worcester People of Color - Unseen Photos 1897-1917
Photographs by William Bullard
from the collection of Frank Morrill.

In this collection are hundreds of images of every day Black Worcester residents, many of whom resided in the Beaver Brook neighborhood with their children, neighbors, and loved ones.

In 2003 Charlton resident, Frank Morrill purchased a collection of photographs taken by William Bullard between 1897 and 1917. Of the thousands of images in this collection, a significant number of photos depicted Black Worcester residents—a surprising find considering that people of color made up 1% of the city’s population at that time.

Join the Worcester Black History Project, Worcester Historical Museum, and Frank Morrill for a discussion and exploration of Bullard’s photographs and the Worcester people whose lives he documented around Worcester.
