Corky Lee, Leading Asian American Photographer, Featured in New Exhibit

The work of photographer Corky Lee – who for more 50 years has photographed the daily life of Asian Americans and how they have fought for social justice, now documented in a new book –– is on display at the John Hope Franklin Center through June.

At the recent opening, Columbia historian Mae Ngai, and an editor of "Corky Lee’s Asian America: 50 Years of Photographic Justice,” shared her insights into the life and work of Lee, the “undisputed, unofficial Asian American photographer laureate.”
