| Description: |
Share Margaret Bourke-White's fascinating life as the first female war correspondent. Before television and instant communication, Bourke-White's photographs introduced America to the world. She took combat zone pictures during World War II and was one of the first photographers to enter and document Nazi death camps. Bourke-White later traveled to India where she took now-famous photographs of Mohandas Gandhi. This Chautauqua presentation of Margaret Bourke-White by Doris Dwyer, professor of History at Western Nevada College, is a Humanities on the Road program, sponsored by the Silver City Task Force, part of Healthy Communities Coalition of Lyon and Storey counties.
