Essence and The Paley Center for Media launched their “The Power of Our Presence” exhibit which celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards.

The exhibit commemorates the 10th anniversary of Essence’s Black Women in Hollywood Awards—the annual Oscar-week luncheon at the forefront of spotlighting Hollywood’s most creative and accomplished visionaries.

The exhibit features a display of the iconic white coat worn by Kerry Washington in “Scandal” and Tracee Ellis Ross’s scrubs from “Black-ish.”

Archived memorabilia, photos and footage from the luncheon’s nine-year history will be on display, including re-creations of the event’s extraordinary tablescapes, images from past honorees, special video messages from some of Hollywood’s most influential women including Angela Bassett and Lynn Whitfield.

“The Essence Power of our Presence” exhibit is presented by AT&T and the Minority Business Development Agency. The exhibit is free and will be open to the public from Wednesday, February 8 to Tuesday, February 28, 2017. The Paley Center For Media’s hours are Wednesday to Sunday from 12:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. PT.
