Why were some of the students killed during protests in the 1960s considered “martyrs” while others were labeled “delinquents”? Alison Isenberg, (History, Director of the Princeton-Mellon Initiative in Architecture, Urbanism, and the Humanities) examines the photography of urban youth unrest and fatal violence in the 1960s.

A reception in the Museum will follow.
