‘The ’60s: Decade of Change’

Fernandez, who managed to capture the mood of the times, as well as intimate moments between Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his family after becoming friends with the Civil Rights leader at a march in Central Park in 1967. An opening reception for the exhibit will be held this Friday evening from 6 to 9; the exhibit runs through July 20.
