Black Lens: African American Photographers June 22, 2012

Photographs can provide insight into the history and culture of an era. Three leading African American photographers - Tony Gleaton, Earlie Hudnall Jr., and Marilyn Nance - discuss their images featured in the exhibition 'African American Art: Harlem Renaissance, Civil Rights Era and Beyond,' on view at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Deborah Willis, professor of photography at New York University and author of 'Reflections in Black: A History of Black Photographers, 1840 to the Present,' will moderate.
