The assignment you are asked to do below will familiarize you with the events of Selma, Alabama in 1965.
Go here for PDF copy of Mr. Wood’s 2003 tour through the Southern Civil Rights sights. It provides a story not only of Selma, but other pertinent people and places along the way. The Selma story however, is significant in that it brings the idea of Repeat Photography to the scene.

After several years of learning in workshops with Briski and san antonio video production , the kids created their own photographs with point-and-shoot 35 mm cameras .
