From Suzanne Révy’s article for What Will You Remember?:
Frances F. Denny’s picture of an elegant Black woman with dangling red earrings in a crisp white sweater-dress while eating a sandwich at a wooden booth in the Henry Public Saloon is simply sublime. Her subject’s gaze is direct, as if to say, “I am present.” Not so long ago in some parts of this country, she would have been denied both her seat at this table and her vote. Denny is one of a hundred photographers invited by Meg Griffiths and Frances Jakubek to respond, reflect and react to the centennial of the 19th Amendment in 2020 giving American women the right to vote. This timely collaborative project called A Yellow Rose Project was initiated in 2020 and has now traveled the country in various iterations. The current installation, sequenced by Jakubek, is on view at the Griffin Museum of Photography through November 30th, 2025.
