George Rodriguez with Cesar Chavez, Delano, CA 1969
Please join us for a Q and A webinar featuring the life and work of George Rodriguez.
George Rodriguez has been a professional photographer since the 1960s. For more than five decades, he photographed some of the most famous movie and television celebrities of our time and also documented the culture and political events of the Mexican-American community in Los Angeles. The result is a compelling body of work that reveals two very distinct views of Los Angeles: life on the red carpet and life on the streets. His work is a visual record of some of the seminal episodes in the city's history: the Sunset Strip riots of the 60s, the Chicano movement of the early 70s, the United Farm Workers movement and the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
In the Spring 2021 issue of the LACHS newsletter, there was an article about George Rodriguez - it’s also published on our blog: The Double Vision of George Rodriguez - LACHS Newsletter article
The webinar will also be recorded and published on our website and Facebook page.
