Meet the Artist: John H. White
Monday, April 20
9:30-10:20 a.m. Tate Hall

CPCC alumnus and Pulitzer Prize photojournalist John H. White will  present at  CPCC's ArtsFest. A “Meet the Artist” reception will follow. White’s work will be on display in the Ross Gallery.

White’s talent for capturing daily life won the respected African American photojournalist the Pulitzer Prize Award for Feature Photography in 1982. White has been honored for his outstanding work throughout his career including his induction into the Chicago Journalism Hall of Fame and the awarding of the Chicago Medal of Merit.

In addition to his position at the Chicago Sun-Times, the Lexington, NC native is a photojournalist and a photography professor at Columbia College Chicago.

White’s slogan, “Keep in Flight,” refers to his creed of faith, focus and flight. These three words define how he lives his life and views his photographic subjects. Every conversation ends with an encouragement to spread your wings and “Keep in Flight.”
