Photography exhibit of 1960s Carbondale on display

CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) - A photography exhibit offering a glimpse of 1960s Carbondale will be on display for several more days.

The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan (https://bit.ly/2q3QeBK ) reports that the work of photographer Tom Davis is being exhibited at the Carbondale Civic Center until May 19.

The 33 images are from Davis’ time as a photographer for The Southern Illinoisan, from his own photography studio and from his time running the yearbook at Carbondale High School.

The images include those of a Vietnam protest and of a downtown Carbondale strip.

Davis says it’s important for Carbondale residents to learn more about their past.
