Let Us Now Praise Famous Men: History in the Making: University of Wisconsin~Eau Claire

In 1936 Walker Evans and James Agee documented 3 white tenant families in southern Alabama during the Great Depression in what became the book "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men". Students from the History of Photography class at UWEC discussed Evan's photography with his last assistant Baldwin Lee on 11/12/10. This website documents a contemporary response from UWEC students’ discussion with Lee and the cultural significance of Evan's photographs produced in the 1930's. Contact: kelleyja@uwec.edu
