Inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888
Photograph by Pam Spaulding
More than 30 years ago, Pam Spaulding, a photojournalist for the Louisville Courier-Journal, began documenting events in the life of the McGarveys, a family from Louisville, Kentucky. The result is National Geographic’s An American Family: Three Decades with the McGarveys, a unique album comprising 250 discerning black and white images. Join her, and the McGarveys, for a remarkable look at one family’s life.
Photographer Sam Abell will introduce the event, and moderate a discussion with Ms. Spaulding and the McGarveys after the presentation.
