Capturing Protest: A Photographer’s Perspective on a Year in the Movement for Black Lives

Center for Brooklyn History

We had a conversation with three photographers who documented the last year of protest in Brooklyn and whose works are now part of CBH’s exhibition "Brooklyn Resists". Bob Gore, Madison Swart, and Terrence Jennings joined Brooklyn rallies and marches, turning their gaze and cameras to the history being made. We heard what they saw, learned how they felt, and discovered their hopes for the impact of their work in a conversation that explored where the personal and professional meet in documenting the movement for racial justice. Moderated by David Gonzalez, New York Times Lens Blog Co-Editor and Metro Columnist.

This program is part of Center for Brooklyn History's major public history initiative, Brooklyn Resists.

Recorded July 17, 2021.
