- Description:
- James E. Allen (born 1954) was raised in Winter Park, Florida, within an Irish Catholic family of 11 brothers and sisters. He has always liked the rare and unusual and has a passion for Civil Rights memorabilia. He became a "picker" of antiques, some of which are now housed at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. He amassed a major collection of lynching photographs and postcards and photographs in his antique business. In 2000, Allen published Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America (with contributions by Representative John Lewis, Leon Litwack, and Hilton Als) from his collection. The following year he placed the photos on exhibit in New York to help draw worldwide attention to America's history of racial violence. When the National Center for Civil and Human Rights opened in 2014, it displayed the collection as part of its permanent collection. During the AIDS crisis in the mid to late 1980s he became an Atlanta activist with the group "AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power" (ACT UP). ACT Up was a diverse, non-partisan group united in frustration and committed to ending the AIDS crisis through protest and other forms of civil disobedience.
