January 9th marked 50 years since the first African-American students, Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton Holmes, were admitted to the University of Georgia.
50 Years Later, in the middle of a horrible snow & ice storm, Charlayne Hunter-Gault spoke about those times.
When I shot this, I had already walked about five miles for the day. I was in complete reflex mode and forced myself to be creative, despite being woefully underdressed for the occasion. Almost the entire audience walked to see Hunter-Gault speak. After listening to her speak, I'd walk five more miles to hear it again.
