Join Tom Friedman for an examination of photographs by Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, and Arthur Rothstein, master photographers who captured and shared the harrowing effects of the 1930s Depression upon the people of the American South (on display as part of the Masters of American Photography exhibition, on view April 8 - June 25, 2022). They were part of the largest documentary photography project ever undertaken by the U.S. government, and it yielded more than 80,000 photographs. Tom Friedman is a retired FAMU professor, and an artist.
