Senior Research Scholar of the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture (CADVC) Maurice Berger’s “For All the World to See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights” will be released from Yale University Press on April 20. Six years in the making, the book looks at the role played by visual images and the rise of television and picture magazines, in the struggle for civil rights in the U.S.
The publication coincides with an exhibition that opens at the International Center of Photography, May 21-September 12, 2010, and subsequently appears at the two co-organizing institutions, the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. and CADVC.
The article announcing his book publication ran March 30 on Artnet News.
