Lecture by Julian Cox, Curator of Photography at the High Museum of Art, Sponsored by the SCAD Photography Department.
When: Wednesday, April 9 at 7PM
Where: Savannah College of Art and Design Student Center
120 Montgomery Street, Savannah, GA

Julian Cox, Curator of Photography, High Museum of Art will present a lecture “Road to Freedom: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement, 1956-1968” to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Road to Freedom” is the most comprehensive art museum exhibition devoted to photography of the Civil Rights Movement in two decades. Consisting of approximately 130 photographs, many of which have never been displayed publicly, the exhibition will be drawn primarily from the High’s permanent collection, as well as loans from institutions and private-collections. These unforgettable images changed a nation, increasing the momentum of the non-violent movement by raising awareness of injustice and the struggle for equality.
