A Photographic Journey in the US Death Penalty

Come to a public forum on the death penalty with human rights photographer Scott Langley.

Langley's images depict an insider's hour-by-hour walk-through of what happens on an execution night, taking the viewer from the prison deathwatch cell into the actual lethal injection chamber.  Photos from Troy Davis's recent
execution in Georgia tell the story of what happens outside a prison in the moments leading up to execution.  The presentation also includes original photos from execution vigils (both for and against the death penalty), marches, rallies, portraits of exonerated death row prisoners,
candid emotional and prayerful moments, and celebrities who are outspoken on the issue. The photographs, together with Langley's narratives, uniquely combine art, journalism and education into a poignant and powerful experience.

The event is free and open to the public.
