Join MBU for a conversation with Brian Palmer, a Peabody Award–winning photojournalist based in Richmond. During his 30-year career, Palmer has photographed conflict, politics, activism, daily life, and more around the world  and in his own backyard. Recently, his work has been featured in the Richmond Free Press, PBS Newshour, and the Smithsonian Magazine, with a focus on giving voice to undertold stories of abolitionist events and civil rights activism.

MBU Signature Events are a new series of public lectures, performances, and community experiences hosted by Mary Baldwin University and designed to engage both the campus and broader Staunton communities.
