The struggle for African-American civil rights is full of dramatic stories. Bravery, violence, hatred and hope; all of these are part of the complex and interesting tale of the movement. Sadly, for many the exposure to these stories is limited to a half-remembered week of high school history class, or a few dusty books sitting on shelves. Thanks to the Field Museum’s amazing exhibit, “Road to Freedom: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement 1956-1968,” visitors have a chance to understand this struggle in an entirely different and much more visceral way.

       

You've seen the photos of Christa Lohman here on this site many times. Posting under the Flickr name Chloeloe, her amazing photos have appeared in both our daily Around Town feature and we also used some of her photos in various Prop 8 galleries. And it's her Prop 8 photos that are getting more attention in the form of a new exhibit opening tonight.
