Description:
FREE ADMISSION
A pre-lecture reception will be hosted prior to the Denise Kiernan lecture at Van Meter Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 22. Denise Kiernan, the author of The Girls of Atomic City: Life in a Secret City of the Manhattan Project, and photographer Ed Westcott will attend the reception.
In conjunction with the lecture, the gallery in Mass Media and Technology Hall will feature more than 50 historic photographs of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and Japan days after the World War II bombs were dropped (gallery show 9/14-11/21).
Westcott, one of the photographers whose work will be on display, worked for the U.S. government in the Oak Ridge, Tennessee, area during the Manhattan Project in the 1940s and was one of the only people allowed to have a camera on the Oak Ridge plants during this secretive time of the development of the atomic bomb.
The event is sponsored by WKU's Potter College, the History Department, and the School of Journalism & Broadcasting.
