After SELMA

Hello Family and Friends,
After SELMA will be featured in Atlanta Celebrates Photography at Spruill Gallery September 17 - October 24.
Please help fund the framing and further production of the work.
The Project:
Joshua’s goal was to begin documenting the modern day civil-rights demonstrations in America beginning with the 50th Anniversary of the march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. This march was significant because it lead to the Voters Rights Act of 1965. Joshua raised $600.00 in efforts to begin this project 6 months ago and has been at it ever since.
After SELMA:
The road from Selma to Montgomery, AL wasn't without opposition as Martin Luther King, Jr. led thousands from the African American community into new and deserved territory known as the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Now, as seen in these photographs, streets mirror similar scenes as community members of all races mourn the wrongful deaths of black boys and young men, while still fighting for what they thought they had all along - civil rights. Their sentiments can be heard: “We have marched from Selma, but 50 years later, where are we now?” After SELMA will continue to be documented all over the USA.
Featured:
"After SELMA" has been featured on LensCulture and Joshua has been named as one of LensCulture's 2015 Emerging Talents.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
