Crossroads Events
Crossroads: Elections and Practicing the Liberal Arts is an array of integrated programming around the 2024 elections that spans the full range of disciplines, departments, and spaces on the Hamilton campus.
Event Description
Photography turned American presidents into celebrities. In this talk, historian Matthew Fox-Amato examines the place of photography within the Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) presidential administration (1963-1969). By focusing on the work of White House photographer Yoichi Okamoto, Amato reveals how Okamoto’s fly-on-the-wall style made visual performance central to the daily workings of the presidency.
