Enduring Light: Photographs by Roy DeCarava and Danny Lyon

As part of a generous gift of photographs to The Ringling from Richard and Ellen Sandor, we’ve received two significant portfolios: Twelve Photogravures by Roy DeCarava (American, 1919-2009) and Danny Lyon’s (American, born 1942) Memories of the Southern Civil Rights Movement. 

These bodies of work by two of America’s most consequential photographers offer distinct but complementary expressions of Black life and the struggle for civil rights in the U.S.​​
