Dick Waterman played a key role in the folk revival of the 1960s, helping to revive the career of Son House and managing many prominent blues artists including Skip James, Mississippi John Hurt, and Bonnie Raitt.

The exhibit “Between Midnight and Day: The Photography of Dick Waterman,” set to open September 26 in UNC-Chapel Hill’s Wilson Library, features Waterman’s iconic photographs of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Son House, Howlin’ Wolf, Janis Joplin, and the Rolling Stones.

Join us for the exhibit opening which will also feature a screening of the Sam Pollard documentary “Two Trains Runnin’,” a film centered on an astonishing historical coincidence: on June 21, 1964, two lost giants of the Delta blues were located and three civil rights activists disappeared. A Q&A with Waterman will follow.

The event is presented by the Southern Folklife Collection at Wilson Special Collections Library and sponsored by the UNC Friends of the Library.
