Exhibit Opening: documentary photographs by Geoffrey King (Stanford Law School class of 2009)
This event is being co-hosted by the Robert Crown Law Library and the American Constitution Society (ACS).
Finger food & beverages served!
The exhibit features 36 black and white photographs of political demonstrations ranging from a sit-in at UC Berkeley on the first day of the Iraq War in 2003, to the Republican National Convention protests in New York, to a grassroots POW/MIA commemoration at the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, to Camp Casey in Texas.
Included in the exhibit are photographs of presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain, famed whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg and his wife Patricia, and British peace activist Brian Haw, among others. Many more photographs are compiled in a pre-production copy of Geoffrey's forthcoming book, Liberty Portrait Studio, which will also be on display.
Geoffrey will talk about the people and events behind these compelling images.
