Screening of All My Babies

In addition to recording many of the key scenes that made up the film,
Galbraith emphasizes the communal bonds formed between traditional midwives,
often called Œgranny midwives,¹ and their clients. The sense of kinship
within a segregated society is visible in these photographs, while the
regulation and certification of midwife training (which was the primary
purpose of the film) becomes less prominent.  Lisa Henry, curator and writer

Reclaiming Midwives: Stills from All My Babies   Photographs by Robert
Galbraith

Reclaiming Midwives features photographs by Robert Galbraith that explore
the lives and experiences of black midwives in Georgia in the early 1950s.
³Galbraith¹s photographs tell a collective story about the multifaceted
experience of midwifery as an intimate and embracing experience for women of
varying ages.
