SUMMARY:Opening Reception: This Light of Ours: Activist Photographers of the Civil Rights Movement
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of the exhibition This Light of Ours: Activist Photographers of the Civil Rights Movement\, featuring three of the photographers whose work is part of the exhibition\, moderated by Ray Arsenault\, USF St. Petersburg professor and award-winning author of Freedom Riders: 1961 and the Struggle for Racial Justice. \nThis Light of Ours: Activist Photographers of the Civil Rights Movement\, an exhibition of the Center for Documentary Arts\, presents the Civil Rights Movement through the work and voices of nine activist photographers – men and women who chose to document the national struggle against segregation and other forms of race-based disenfranchisement from within the movement. \nUnlike images produced by photojournalists who covered breaking news events\, most of the photographers in this exhibit were affiliated with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and documents its activities by focusing on the student activists and local people who together made the movement happen. \nThe exhibition is comprised of 157 black and white photographs\, the majority of which were taken in Mississippi and Alabama between 1963 and 1966. \n$9 general admission\, free to FHM members. Please RSVP by calling (727) 820-0100 ext. 271. \nThe photographers who will speak at the opening reception:\nBob Adelman was stirred into activism by the student sit-ins and offered his skills as a photographer to the cause. Working initially with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)\, he photographed efforts to desegregate restaurants and bus terminals on Route 40\, between New York and Washington\, DC. In 1963\, he went to Birmingham\, where the Southern Christian Leadership Conference\, headed by Rev. Martin Luther King\, was carrying out “Project C\,” and where he took some of his best movement images. Adelman’s movement photos caught the attention of magazine editors and brought him national and international assignments and\, later\, acclaim. He is the author of twelve books\, including Mine Eyes Have Seen\, his retrospective on the movement\, which Life published in 2007 in its “Great Photographers Series.” \nBob Fletcher started photographing in 1963 while working for the Harlem Education Project in New York. From 1964 to 1968\, he was a SNCC photographer and covered an array of movement activities in Alabama and Mississippi. In 1968\, he and a number of other SNCC delegates attended a “Congress for Writers\, Artists and Intellectuals” in Havana\, Cuba\, the theme of which was “The Problems of the Third World.” There\, he met filmmakers from Africa\, the Caribbean\, Latin America\, and the Middle East and developed an interest in documenting the life and culture of peoples in Africa. After leaving the movement in the late 1960s\, Fletcher worked on several documentary films about African independence. In 1987\, he enrolled at the New York University law school and began a second career. He currently practices law in New York and Florida. \nTamio Wakayama is a Japanese-Canadian who spent his childhood in a World War II internment camp. In 1963\, he skipped his final year of college at the University of Western Ontario to join the American Civil Rights Movement. After working as a volunteer driver for SNCC\, he was accepted as a staff member in the Atlanta office and began designing posters and fliers for publication. SNCC photographer Danny Lyon liked Wakayama’s graphic designs and suggested he try photography\, which he did. In the following year\, he managed SNCC’s darkroom and\, at the end of summer of 1964\, he took over as the SNCC field photographer in Mississippi. He returned to Toronto in 1966 and ten years later assembled A Dream of Riches: The Japanese Canadians 1877-1977\, a photographic reconstruction of the memory of the Nikkei community\, which toured Canada\, the U.S. and Japan\, and is seen today as the opening salvo in the Canadian campaign for redress of wartime injustices. \nThis Light of Ours2This Light of Ours1Adelman_BobFletcher_BobWakayama_Tamio RESIZED FOR WEB\n \n  \n \nMedia partners: \n \n  \n \n  \n \n  \nThanks to our Community Partners: \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Beaches\, Benches and Boycotts: The Civil Rights Movement in Tampa Bay
DESCRIPTION:An original exhibition of The Florida Holocaust Museum. \nThe focus of most Civil Rights history is written about places like Alabama and Mississippi\, as if few challenges occurred elsewhere. Tampa Bay remained racially segregated at the dawn of the Civil Rights era and many local institutions and establishments held out on integration for several years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Brown vs. the Board of Education.  \nUnder “Jim Crow” every aspect of African American life in Tampa\, St. Petersburg\, Sarasota and their surrounding cities was segregated.  Restricted covenants were in place that segregated residential neighborhoods.   African American children had to attend segregated schools that were under-funded and often in disrepair.  Blacks could only be cared for at “Black only” hospitals\, and other public and private establishments like restaurants and beaches were often segregated – if blacks were allowed in at all.  \nThe Civil Rights Movement in Tampa Bay may have had characteristics similar to other areas of the South but its stories are its own. This exhibition will illuminate our region’s struggle with racial equality and shine a light on the local leaders who changed our cities. \nSHIRLEY CURTIS AND WIFE   125 YEARS: TAMPA BAY THROUGH THE TIMESimg0002701Aimg0002698AIMG0002692A\nPresented by: \n \n  \nMedia partners: \n \n \n \n  \nAdditional support provided by:

SUMMARY:GHRAM: Holocaust by Bullets: Yahad – In Unum\, 10 Years of Investigation public program
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the free public reception and guided tour of the new exhibition “Holocaust by Bullets: Yahad – In Unum\, 10 Years of Investigation.” \nKnown as the “Holocaust by Bullets\,” the majority of the systematic killing of Jews and Roma took place after the 1941 invasion of the former Soviet Union and continued until 1944. The form of genocide detailed by Yahad – In Unum’s exhibition is unlike any other study of genocidal activity ever conducted and presented. \nYahad – In Unum Research Director Patrice Bensimon and Research Fellow Marie Moutier will lead a talk and tour of the exhibition. \nBensimon recently returned from a research trip to investigate the sites of mass executions in Russia. Since 2004\, the organization has identified over 1\,4000 execution sites and interviewed close to 4\,000 witnesses in 8 countries. \nIn the exhibition\, Yahad – In Unum presents its painstaking 10 years of research in a succinct yet appropriate manner allowing the visitor to uncover\, step-by-step\, the crime committed against Jews and Roma by the Nazi killing units\, their Axis supporters\, and local collaborators in Eastern Europe. \nMass killings in places such as Cambodia\, Darfur\, the Balkans and Syria are modeled after what Yahad’s founder Father Patrick Desbois calls the archetype of these horrors – those village-by-village\, on site massacres – perpetrated by the Nazis and their collaborators. \nThe program is part of the Museum’s Genocide and Human Rights Awareness Movement (GHRAM) and is presented in partnership with the Saint Leo University Center for Catholic-Jewish Studies. \nThe program is free and open to the public\, and is part of the Museum’s Genocide and Human Rights Awareness Movement. Presented in partnership with the Saint Leo University Center for Catholic-Jewish Studies. \nThe exhibition is on display May 19 – July 19\, 2015. \nThe Florida Holocaust Museum’s Curator of Education & Director of Research Urszula Szczepinska was invited by Yahad – In Unum to create a study guide to be used worldwide in conjunction with the exhibition.
