More than 60 costumes, from “Black Panther” to “Selma,” will be on display in a special exhibit opening Saturday at Jamestown Settlement, featuring the legendary costumes of two-time Academy Award winner Ruth E. Carter.

“Ruth E. Carter: Afrofuturism in Costume Design,” showcases Carter’s creations which serve as living lessons, chronicling the rich tapestry of the human experience from Jamestown in 1619 through the antebellum strife to the radiant promise of Afrofuture, a release stated. Organized by Ruth Costume Designs and curator Julia Long, the exhibition will be on display through Dec. 1.

A graduate of and honorary doctorate recipient from Hampton University, Carter has created thousands of costumes for characters both historical and fictional for such films as “Amistad,” “Roots,” “Malcolm X,” “Selma,” “Do the Right Thing” and “Coming 2 America.”

The special exhibit is included with museum admission. Admission to Jamestown Settlement is $18 for adults and $9 for ages 6-1...
