Art Exhibit
"Gordon Parks: Crossroads"
This exhibition represents a retrospective of the photography of Gordon Parks, one of the first African American photographers to break the color barrier at a major magazine. Parks began his career working for the New Deal’s Farm Security Administration photography project under Roy Stryker with celebrated documentary photographers, such as Dorothea Lange. He was witness to vast social change over his lifetime and these images provide a survey of those changes. Beginning in 1949, when he went to work for Life magazine, he completed photo essays for more than 300 assignments. These assignments included such topics as gang warfare, a Rio slum, and a poverty stricken family in Harlem. Parks also covered fashion and celebrities. This exhibition will be held during Black History month at the College and will be connected with events through the Office of Multicultural Affairs.

Community Event
Martin Luther King Jr. Day Program
Quay Hanna presents “The Covert is the Overt “
In 1993, Quay Hanna set out on a mission. After graduating from Bloomsburg University with a degree in English, he left his small town of Strasburg, Pa., to see America. He hopped on a Greyhound bus and began traversing the country. Nine weeks, 37 states, and 12,000 miles later, he got more than an incredible journey and hundreds of stories to tell. As he traveled he was forced to confront his own racist and prejudiced beliefs, making him realize that he had more to offer the world than his lifelong hatred of others. On his return to Strasburg, he had a new objective: to reach out to his subculture- rural, white America—and to challenge racist beliefs as his were challenged on the trip.
