Carver, like Polk, served as both an educator and a mentor for the students of Tuskegee and inspired many throughout the nation. Polk's photographs of Carver provide an extraordinary vehicle for communicating the truth and legend of this charismatic figure. Numerous interpretive programs are planned for the public during the University Gallery's exhibition of the photographs of P.H. Polk. Guest lectures, gallery tours and special events for children and families are all scheduled during the exhibition. Most events are free, although some workshops have a nominal materials charge.
Some events require advanced registration.
