Honoring the Legacy of Photojournalism

In 2018, Stephanie completed a labor of love by curating a traveling exhibit titled PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY, highlighting the work of her late great-uncle Maurice Sorrell, the first credentialed Black member of the White House News Photographers and a 32-year staff photographer for Johnson Publications (Ebony & Jet magazines). Opening at Philadelphia’s Slought Foundation before appearing at Penn’s Makuu Cultural Center and the African American Museum in Philadelphia, Stephanie is currently seeking additional opportunities to present the work in physical or digital form at schools and other cultural institutions across the US.

Up to 70 images from the Sorrell Collection
Additional personal/biographical images available
Group/class discussion on the role of photojournalism in contemporary society and preserving cultural legacy in images
(Optional) Workshop on image creation, basic principles of photography and related topics

In preparation for his historic live CD recording at The Kimmel Center, we go behind-the-scenes with native Philadelphian trombonist Jeff Bradshaw as he speaks to students at his HS alma mater, Ben Franklin, rehearses for the big night, and we catch up with some of the special guests he includes in the recording project.
