“Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America” Journal Reflection 16

Posted on May 28th, 2010 by Jamie Glavic

fbTake a moment to read to the following journal reflection and see what people are saying about NURFC exhibition, “Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America.” If you haven’t yet viewed this unforgettable exhibit, now’s the time to see it. Exhibit closes May 31.

Thank you for sharing this exhibit with the community.  There continues to be so much hate in the world.  It’s important to look back and realize how far we have come and more importantly how much further we have to go.  I work at an organization dedicated to ending homelessness and protecting the civil rights of people who experience homelessness.  Everyday we hear stories of hate and violence carried out against the people we serve.  Thank you for ending the exhibit in a way that encourages people to continue thinking about other groups of people who experience hate and violence.  I am most impressed that the history of lynching and the struggle of the African-American community was not diminished by this ending.  Until we are ALL free from hate, violence and oppression…the struggle continues.
