Speak Truth to Power Exhibition

Jayme's Fund for Social Justice is pleased to host and announce the opening of the Speak Truth to Power exhibition at the Stockbridge Theatre Gallery, Pinkerton Academy in Derry, NH.

Speak Truth to Power is the global human rights initiative founded by Kerry Kennedy and Nan Richardson, which brings people face-to-face with courageous human rights heroes. This multifaceted project presents inspiring stories of 51 women and men from over 40 countries who have stood up to oppression at great personal risk in the non-violent pursuit of human rights. The presentation chronicles the struggles of the human rights defenders, including the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Elie Wiesel, Helen Prejean, and many other lesser known people who have been championing human rights the world over.

The Speak Truth to Power exhibition is based on the writings of Kerry Kennedy and the photographs taken by the renowned Pulitzer-prize-winning photojournalist Eddie Adams. The exhibition consists of a series of prints of dramatic portraits taken on location in four continents, wall text which employs quotations and excerpts from Kennedy's interviews of the human rights defenders, computer stations with website materials offering an interactive experience, and the PBS documentary film The Kennedy Center Presents: Speak Truth to Power.

The exhibition began its international tour in September 2000 at The Corcoran Gallery, Washington, D.C., traveling thereafter to venues throughout the United States and worldwide.

Speak Truth to Power is an unforgettable affirmation of the human spirit that is not to be missed!
