Onward: Movements, Activists, Politics and Politicians
Photographer and activist Michael James presents a new selection of photos, to start the New Year with a positive vision. James believes “the struggle for social and political change is a long one—always and forever, with plenty of ups and downs. Now is a time in our history when we need to do a lot of progressive organizing.”
His new show Onward: Movements, Activists, Politics, and Politicians 1962 – 2015 is at the Uri Eichen Gallery from January 13th through February 3. James’s photos remind us of much that has transpired over the years, and hopefully encourage us to continue onward, going forward on a positive path in the quest for a just and better world.
The exhibit includes a selection of James’s photos taken over a 54-year span. His memories of the situations and circumstances he captured accompany the photos.
Included in the Exhibit are:
President Kennedy in Mexico, participants in the Berkeley Free Speech Movement, Governor Kerner on the stump in Peoria, SNCC and SDS organizers in alley conversation, the 20th Anniversary of the March on Washington, Sandinista soldiers, Roman Pucinski and Jesse Jackson at Harold Washington’s inauguration, Anarchist Cheerleaders on May Day, Katy Hogan and Dennis Kucinich at the Heartland Café, Obama at the Heartland and at Chicago State, Quinn under fire from AFSCME at the Illinois State Fair, the Chuy Garcia campaign and Black Lives Matters.
