This was the first year Buffalo hosted this prestegious event in the 20 year history of the conference! The WNYMMP hosted a session at The Mansion On Delaware Avenue that highlighted the beauty of the historic 1914 Sattler Theatre as well as African American life during the theatre's prime. The event featured a chic and intimate cocktail hour and gallery style photographic art show. It also included a cinematic retrospective of images taken by famed photographer Willie Brown Seals.
