 Lyon's "SNCC" (2020), brings together hundreds of never-before-seen 
 black-and-white photographs made by Lyon during the years that he was 
 employed as the staff photographer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating 
 Committee, or SNCC. \n\nBeginning in 1962 in Cairo, Illinois when Lyon, 
 then a University of Chicago student, met John Lewis, Freedom Rider, the 
 film traces the story of their friendship alongside the ongoing struggle 
 for civil rights in the United States. \n\nThe images are layered with 
 archival audio recordings of speeches by and conversations with Lewis, 
 Julian Bond, and Dotty Zellner, among others, as well as freedom songs that 
 were recorded by Alan Ribback in churches and meetings in Atlanta in the 
 1960s and recently rediscovered by Lyon.\n\n\nABOUT: Danny Lyon \n\nDanny

 with the Dead and Knave of Hearts. His latest non-fiction book is Like A 
 Thief’s Dream, PowerHouse Books. \n\nDaniel Joseph Lyon was born in 
 Brooklyn, New York on March 16, 1942. Roosevelt was President. World War 
 Two was on going in Europe, Africa and Asia. Segregation was the law of the 
 land in 13 southern states. Native Americans were not allowed to purchase

 south. \n\nLyon attended NYC public schools in Kew Gardens and Forest 
 Hills, Queens, and in 1959 bought his first camera, an Exa SLR in Munich, 
 Germany during a summer trip, then entered the University of Chicago, where 
 he eventually majored in philosophy and ancient history. \n\nIn 1963 he 
 became The Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee’s (SNCC) first 
 photographer. Lyon’s photographs are in Museums and collections 
 throughout the world. His most recent one man show was at the Whitney 
 Museum of American Art in New York City. Lyon is represented by Gavin Brown
