SUMMARY:Baltimore Lives: A Discussion with John Mayden - Virtual Program
DESCRIPTION:Award winning photographer John Clark Mayden has been documenting life in Baltimore ’s African American neighborhoods since the 1970s. His photographs capture the ordinary joys and sorrows\, quiet moments\, and daily realities of life: kids on their bikes and roller skates\, old timers catching a breeze on their front stoops and busy people striding through the snow. Join the Reginald F. Lewis Museum for a discussion between Mr. Mayden and Bloomberg Distinguished Lawrence Jackson about Mr. Mayden’s photos and what they say about the beauty and heartbreak of everyday life\, Black life\, in this American city. \nThe event highlights the John Clark Mayden Collection\, a gift to Johns Hopkins through the Africana Archives Initiative\, a partnership between the Billie Holiday Project for Liberation Arts and the Sheridan Libraries.  \n Lives can be purchased from the Johns Hopkins Press at jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/title/baltimore-lives.  \nCost: Free \nClick Here to Register for this Virtual Event.  \nJohn Clark Mayden grew up and attended school in West  Baltimore and began his career as a photographer at WMAR-TV.
