Jerry Taliaferro is well-regarded for photographic projects and published works, including Women of a New Tribe, a photographic study of the spiritual and physical beauty of black women. He will present the opening reception lecture. The portraits in this exhibition explore how the black American male perceives himself and how he is perceived by others. The men pictured in the exhibition were selected from Susquehanna University and the greater Susquehanna River Valley by the exhibition curators Harvey Edwards and Dan Olivetti.
