Photo Journal: The Day the KKK Marched Down East Franklin Street

Posted Jan 20, 2017
In June 1987, Michael Galinsky took a camera with a telephoto lens and a bunch of film to document a Ku Klux Klan rally in Chapel Hill. Until recently, these photographs could be relegated to a regrettable past. A video installation combining Galinsky's photos with interviews from the event is part of the Southern Accent exhibit at the Nasher Museum of Art. (Indy Week)
