The LA Times wrote a really nice review of the exhibit, Road to Freedom, currently at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. I have two prints in the show.

Friday, December 12th, 2008The December issue of Smithsonian magazine has a nice write-up on my picture of 12 year-old Ben Chaney going to the funeral of his older brother — civil rights worker James Chaney, who was murdered, alongside two other activists, in Mississippi in 1964. (The case was the basis of the film Mississippi Burning.)
Pick up the magazine, or read the story here.
Cheerz,

Some of my pictures from the civil rights era, including the image of the Chaney family, above, will be included in an upcoming exhibition at the High Museum, in Atlanta, called Road to Freedom: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement. The show opens on June 7th and runs until October 5th. Get all the details on the High Museum’s website.
