Two photography exhibits were available for members for a few days before the official opening on Saturday. I was so moved by the exhibit focusing on the American South, featuring works as far back as the Civil War, including the social and political history, the people — both the icons and the forgotten — and the land, urban and rural, through every decade up to the present. I was emotionally drained.There was no way I could just move on to the other exhibit, so I went home.
The pictures by both world renowned and local photographers captured the best and worst of humanity. Unfortunately, I left feeling pessimistic about human nature.
I would love to see that exhibition. I looked it up and there is a photo, "Swamp and Pipeline," taken in Geismar, LA. My husband worked in a chemical plant there for over 40 years.
I'm currently reading a book, "A Fever in the Heartland," about the KKK in Indiana in the 1920's. It's depressing how little has changed in 100 years.
