Emory University This event, held March 23, 2023, in Emory University’s Woodruff Library, was a lively conversation between celebrated Atlanta Black photographers Tom Dorsey and Jim Alexander, longtime friends known in part for their images of activism and urban neighborhood life. The chat was moderated by Carlton Mackey, assistant director, community dialogue and engagement, at the High Museum of Art and co-creator/co-director of Emory University’s Arts and Social Justice Fellows Program.
The conversation was featured with two related exhibits: “Creative Justice: A Celebration of Emory’s Arts and Social Justice Fellows Program” at the Woodruff Library’s Schatten Gallery, featuring the work of Alexander (from his collection acquired by our Stuart A. Rose Library) and the Emory Arts and Social Justice fellows, and “A Very Incomplete Self-Portrait: Tom Dorsey’s Chicago Portfolio” at the Carlos Museum (from its Dorsey collection).
The conversation was cosponsored by the Rose Library and Carlos Museum and presented in partnership with the Atlanta Preservation Center’s “Phoenix Flies: A Celebration of Atlanta’s Historic Sites.”
