Human Rights Defenders Who Are Changing Our World - This traveling exhibition features powerful black and white portraits of 51 human rights defenders taken by Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Eddie Adams. The individuals profiled come from all parts of the world and face every form of oppression and abuse, but they hold in common a record of accomplishment and a profoundly inspiring capacity to ignite change. Human rights issues -- from nuclear disarmament to children in war, from environmental activism to religious self-determination and sex-slavery -- are examined in the exhibition text through biographical stories about each of the defenders written by veteran human rights leader Kerry Kennedy Cuomo. Exhibition: Main Library, Lower Level, Jewett Gallery
