Power of Photography to Experience Community

Join us to view Gordon Parks 1943 photo essay of Mary McLeod Bethune, and the school she founded, Bethune-Cookman University, one of four historically Black colleges located in Florida and life in the surrounding segregated neighborhoods of Daytona Beach.

Barbara Chandler, Hannibal Square Heritage Center Manager, will lead a panel discussion including local African American photographers: Mariah Roman, Katrina Schultz, Cynthia Slaughter, Toya Flewellyn, Everette Spruill, Thaddeus Watkins and Tyler Harrington as to how Gordon Parks has influenced their body of work and the impact of photography in Black communities as a way to reclaim our stories.
