Bruce Davidson at the University of Saint Francis School

The University wanted to be a law school but it looks like they were safer in something more abstract like the arts.


The University of Saint Francis School of Creative Arts and the Canon Explorers of Light Program presented “An Evening with Bruce Davidson”. The free lecture was held at Gunderson Auditorium in Achatz Hall and was free to the public. Those who were in attendance could purchase books from the author after the lecture on the photographer's technique and body of work.

Bruce Davidson website
He received the Guggenheim Fellowship in 1962 to document youth in the South during the Civil Rights movement. The work included images from the cities of Selma, Montgomery and Birmingham, Alabama, as well as the earlier Freedom Ride photographs. In 1963, the Museum Of Modern Art in New York included these historically important images, among others, in a "one man" exhibition.
Will need to go to website to see images.
