USCA and Aiken Technical College partnered with the Aiken County Historical Museum to host the opening reception of the exhibit, “Unforgettable: A Cecil Williams Photography Exhibit,” on Jan. 21. The collection features powerful images that capture both pivotal moments and everyday acts of courage that helped shape the Civil Rights Movement.

The exhibit is free and open to the public through Feb. 20.
