Where: Then and Now

In April 2011, Temple University film student Craig Scheihing took a series of photographs of the Girard College campus and surrounding area.   Modelled after photographs from the George D. McDowell Philadelphia Evening Bulletin and John W. Mosley photograph collections, these images are a testament to the living history of Philadelphia's civil rights campaigns.
