Photojournalist and investigative reporter, Brian Palmer has spent the better part of the last decade looking into the stories of these monuments all across the South. His focus has been illuminating what his collaborator (and wife), Erin Hollaway, has termed “the afterlife of Jim Crow.” We see this legacy of systemic racism (and privilege) in the continued funding of Confederate monuments and sites across the South, even as the Black Lives Matter Movement complicates and enriches our collective American narrative; and in the persistent neglect and underfunding of African-American sites of memory Brian’s work has appeared in the New York Times, the Nation, Smithsonian magazine, and on the Root, Buzzfeed, PBS, and the excellent podcast, Reveal. In addition, he has served in a number of staff positions including the Beijing bureau chief for US News & World Report; staff writer at Fortune; and on-air correspondent at CNN. He began his career as a fact-checker for the Village Voice in his hometown of NYC. The Charles Arnold Lecture Series brings speakers with experience, talent, insight, and discovery to the creative and intellectual culture of RIT in honor of Professor Charles Arnold’s contribution to the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences and to the world of photography.
