President’s Circle Virtual Happy Hour

“Social Injustice through the Lens of Photography” with Steve Northup

As members of the President’s Circle, Founders’ Society, and Legacy Circle, you are cordially invited to attend a Virtual Happy Hour with President Michael F. Brown and photographer Steve Northup for a conversation, “Social Injustice through the Lens of Photography.” Steve will share with us his experiences while taking photos during civil rights demonstrations in the 1960s and in Viet Nam during the war years in 1965-1966 to help us put into context what we are experiencing now with Black Lives Matter and the struggle for justice for indigenous people across the country.

This event is free and open to members of the Board of Directors, Founders’ Society, and President’s Circle. Please RSVP to Lindsay Archuleta at archuleta@sarsf.org and she will send you the instructions to join via Zoom. Space is limited, so please reserve your spot today.
