“Matt Herron has been a photojournalist since 1962, and his pictures have appeared in virtually every major picture magazine in the world. Based in Mississippi in the early 60′s, he covered the Civil Rights struggle for Life, Look, Time, Newsweek, and the Saturday Evening Post, as well as providing pictures for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). In 1964 he founded and directed the Southern Documentary Project, a team of six photographers that attempted to document the process of social change in the South. In 1965, he won the World Press Photo Contest for a civil rights photograph.
The exhibit will be available for viewing at North Gate Hall, Monday-Friday, from August 29- December 1, 2011″

“How does the world look different since September 11, 2001? This can be urban, rural, or wilderness landscapes. It can be relationships between people, portraits of individuals affected by wars, recession, HIV/AIDS, globalization, earthquakes and tsunamis. It can be prisoners in Guantanamo, or prisoners in Lesotho. What is unique about 2011 that is different visually than September 10, 2001? We want to see your unique vision of the world as it looks today in the 21st century.”
