The Margaret Walker Center presents the photography exhibition Everywhere with Roy Lewis as part of its 13th annual student conference at Jackson State University. Roy Lewis has been a celebrated black photographer for the past 50 years, who photographed many of the iconic moments of the modern civil rights movement and was often invited by Dr. Margaret Walker Alexander to photograph the events she hosted at Jackson State.
There will be an opening gallery talk and reception with Roy Lewis himself in the Johnson Hall Art Gallery at JSU, where the exhibition will be installed on Friday, April 12. There will also be a public conversation on Thursday, June 6, in Johnson Hall with Mark Geil, Associate Professor of Art, whose work focuses on photography, and Redell Hearn, Curator of Art and Civil Rights for Tougaloo College and the Mississippi Museum of Art.
The exhibition will run at Jackson State from April 12 to June 28, 2019.
