Civil Rights Photos on Display at GSU

ATLANTA (AP) -- A collection of photographs from the 1960s civil rights movement taken by a Georgia State University administrator will be on display at the campus through September.

The exhibit -- called "Photo Griots" -- focus on women in the movement, including author Alice Walker and Charlayne Hunter-Gault, one of the first black students at the University of Georgia. Many of the photos were taken by Doris Derby, director of African-American student services and programs at the downtown Atlanta campus.

Others were taken by Sue Ross, a photographer for the City of Atlanta mayor's office.

The exhibit opened Monday and will be in the Hammonds House Museum until Sept. 13.
