On Friday October 21, 2011 at 7:30pm the Flying Squirrel and Rochester Indy Media will host an evening to celebrate the life and work of Milton Rogovin with his son Mark Rogovin.
The evening will include the screening of the film "The Rich Have Their Own Photographers" followed by a chance for a discussion and Q & A's with Mark Rogovin.
In 1957, Milton Rogovin was declared “The Top Communist in Buffaloâ€. In reality, he was an optometrist active registering Black voters. Refusing to be silenced, he found a new political voice, a camera.
Through his photographs, Rogovin depicts the extreme inequalities that exist and conveys that message through beautiful works of art. But for Rogovin, his prints are his protests, his only concern is the continuing fight for social justice.
