There are only a few days left to see some of the world-renowned photos of Moneta Sleet, the Pulitzer Prize Photojournalist. The exhibit at the Shomburg Library on 135th Street and Malcolm X Blvd. has a collection of 80 of Sleet's photographs on display. The photos are divided into four groups; portraits, Africa, the civil rights movement and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The exhibit includes the winning photograph of Coretta Scott King with her daughter leaning on her lap at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's funeral.
The library also has a small gallery that periodically rotates pieces from their permanent collection. Works of Wilfredo Lam and Jacob Lawrence among many others are up.
On your way to the photo exhibit as you walk through the atrium you will walk over a beautiful tile floor where the ashes of the writer Langston Hughes rest.

Nice Les. You are picking up the slack for us, we haven't posted in a while. We are inspired.
How much does it cost to get in?
