“Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America” Journal Reflection 19

Posted on May 31st, 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 TODAY.

I wasn’t sure that I would be able to “stomach” the exhibit.  I considered not going into the rooms, not wanting to subject myself to the horrors of the past, but the past is not gone.  These horrors are taking place in different forms all around the world, even in the U.S.  Let us never forget.  Let us never repeat these horrors of the past.  Let us teach our young the lessons of love and acceptance. 

I am glad I entered this exhibit to give honor to those who lost their lives.  Let us never forget.
