UA professor to speak on racial violence

The Center for Creative Photography, along with the department of African American Student Affairs, will commemorate the ideals of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., with a lecture and one-time viewing of select civil rights photographs today.

Jeanne Courtemanche, communications director for the CCP, said she hopes the exhibit, which falls one week after Dr. King's birthday and less than two weeks before the start of Black History Month, will act as a bridge between the two events.

The photos on exhibit include subjects such as protests, black oppression in the 60s, hate groups and concentration camp scenes by a variety of photographers.
