Sarah Lewis Instagram – Wow…! Yesterday, the first title in our new Vision & Justice Book Series, Race Stories: Essays on the Power of Images—a collection of award-winning short essays by Maurice Berger that explore the intersections of photography, race, and visual culture—was at #1 yesterday in its category on Amazon. And it is not out until late Fall 2024. I hadn’t planned on sharing much about this book until later this summer. But this surprise is too sweet not to!
This is a season for work and miracles. Maurice Berger, we love you and miss you so much. We need your words to live on. And they will.
I’m so honored to be the coeditor of this series with Leigh Raiford and Deborah Willis. Marvin Heiferman with Denise Wolff did such a fantastic job editing this volume.
Thank you to everyone at Aperture, the Gordon Parks Foundation, Agnes Gund, and Darren Walker in particular, who believed in supporting Vision & Justice and who along with Aggie, offered such generous Ford Foundation funding this new initiative. Pre-order link in bio. (And Aperture is a non-profit publisher!)
