A Thousand Words: Photographs by Vietnam Veterans Exhibit

Roanoke Island Festival Park, A Thousand Words: Photographs by Vietnam Veterans Exhibit
Event Description: 

A new exhibit, “A Thousand Words: Photographs by Vietnam Veterans,” will open at Roanoke Island Festival Park. On loan from the North Carolina Museum of History, it will be on display in the ticket sales temporary exhibit space. The exhibit, a collection of photographs taken by North Carolina soldiers, explores the human elements and experiences of the Vietnam War. Each snapshot is enhanced by commentary from veterans relaying what a photo means to them. With this collection of snapshots assembled by Winston-Salem photographer Martin Tucker, the exhibit lets visitors step into the memories of Vietnam veterans. 

According to Tucker, “The photographs paint as broad a picture as possible of what 18 to 20-year-olds experienced in their year away from home (in addition to combat), and how they chose to document it. They’re showing what they couldn’t say.”
