Lynching photo exhibit opens with tributes: Priestess Iyalosa Omolewa Eniolorunopa of the Ile Ori Ifa Cultural Center delivers the invocation at the May 1 opening ceremony for “Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America,” on display through the end of the year at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site. The exhibit, of which Emory is a copresenter, consists of images from the collection of James Allen (seated behind Omolewa). The priestess performed a ceremonial “pouring of libations” at the event, held in the Historic Site’s rose garden.Click here or above for the full story. Photo by Jon Rou.

Laura Wagner (right) earned a $100,000 grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation’s “Building Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity Scholar Program” to support her doctoral studies in geriatric nursing in the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. Last fall, Wagner began studying with Associate Professor Elizabeth Capezuti (left). “Within a short time [Laura] began coordinating projects and was an excellent supervisor for the other student research assistants,” Capezuti says.
