Carnegie Mellon¹s Center for the Arts in Society presents ³From Intolerance to Understanding,² a traveling photography exhibition developed by Pittsburgh Filmmakers. The University and wider community are invited to attend this free exhibition November 13 ­ December 8, 2006. The photos will be on display in the University Center Art Gallery, open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on the lawn outside of the University Center.

In 1998, James Byrd Jr. was murdered in a brutal act of racism. Lynn Johnson covered the trial and documented the transformed community of Jasper, Texas for Life magazine. The experience began a seven year journey documenting hate crime in America. This exhibition is the culmination of this journey and brings this artist¹s extraordinary and profound work to the Carnegie Mellon campus. Johnson¹s photographs ask candid questions of viewers, treating locations and faces as meaningful artifacts of aggressive discrimination and intolerance. The exhibition helps to build a context in which viewers can learn and respond to our society¹s continuing aspirations for tolerance. An exhibition catalogue is available for purchase.

³From Intolerance to Understanding,² explains Johnson, "will bring [people] togetherŠto catalyze the conversation on hate crimes through a series of thoughtful [photos]."

Johnson, a nationally recognized photojournalist, has been highlighted in Life magazine, Smithsonian, the New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, and Sports Illustrated. Some of her awards include seven Golden Quills for Photojournalism, four World Press Photo Awards, the Robert F.
Kennedy Journalism Award and National Press Photographers Association's "Picture of the Year." Though her assignments take her around the world, she is a Pittsburgh native and continues to make her home here.

The exhibition is co-sponsored by Carnegie Mellon¹s Office of Student Affairs.
