A powerful and significant opportunity to learn about the Civil Rights Movement, particularly the march over the Edmund Pettis Bridge in Selma, Alabama, through the exhibit,
Selma Is Now - the Photography of Spider Martin.
Drawn from the Spider Martin Photographic Archive at the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas, these newly restored images invite reflection on the courageous Selma marches and their lasting impact on American democracy.
The exhibition opened on January 31 with the event "Selma: Legacy, Lens, and Liberation" and featured entrepreneur, art advocate and founder of FATVillage, Doug McCraw, and award-winning equity strategist and activist Chevara Orrin, daughter of activist James Bevel. Together they explored the enduring impact of photojournalist James "Spider" Martin's iconic photographs of the 1965 marches and confrontations which led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, dramatically expanding the ability of Black Americans to participate in political life.
The exhibition and opening program are presented in partnership between AARLCC and the Broward County Cultural Division.
