Outdoor Photography Exhibit in Howard Park (Across from Schoonover)
March 30 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

On Sunday March 30th, there will be an outdoor exhibition of photojournalist Milton Lindsay’s long-term photography project looking at the H-2A Seasonal Farmworker Visa Program in North Carolina and Mexico. 30, 20×24 inch images depicting life for this group of transient agricultural workers, who spend 6-10 months working on American farms before returning to Mexico during the winter. Nationwide, there are 300,000 H-2A Farmworkers, with 10% of the population living in North Carolina. Since 2015, the program has grown by 300%, largely due to increased deportations during the first Trump Administration.
