Great piece on a great exhibit, Kathryn. Thank you for writing it. We Andoverites are all so lucky to have the Addison in our midst. The Rosamond Purcell retrospective, up concurrently with the Harry Benson show, presents another opportunity for all of us art lovers who live here in town to see the whole arc of the career of another amazing, highly original photographer.
Hello Jeanne, thank you for your comment. I look forward to seeing that exhibit as well. It was great to meet you this past weekend, and I really enjoyed reading articles on your website. Best, Kathryn
I was a student at Antioch College in Yellow Springs Ohio in 1964. All that summer, voting registration workers drove into the Deep South for marathon week-long drives in souped up cars. These cars needed to be faster than the local cops - everyone was aware of what happened to Medgar Evers. They would leave at night and arrive back days later with haunted looks and grim determination to return. We heard first hand the accounts that were being photographed: Bull Conner with dogs and fire hoses and much more.
