Sept. 23, 2000 — A national museum tour, "Indivisible: Stories of American Community," which explores community life and grassroots action in America as viewed by some of the country's most accomplished photographers, radio producers and folklorists, will premiere at Terra Museum of American Art, 664 N. Michigan Ave., opening Friday, Oct. 6, and continuing through Sunday, Nov. 26, 2000.

Dramatic black-and-white images, vibrant color prints and photo montages comprise the 200 photographs featured in the exhibition.

Twelve distinguished photographers were asked to capture the character of community initiatives at work as they saw it—in housing, immigration youth empowerment, race relations, and economic and cultural development, among others. The photographers are Dawoud Bey, Bill Burke, Debbie Fleming Caffery, Lucy Capehart, Lynn Davis, Terry Evans, Lauren Greenfield, Joan Liftin, Reagan Louie, Danny Lyon, Sylvia Plachy, and Eli Reed.

An "audio montage" of American voices, with an introduction narrated by journalist Ray Saurez, is a companion to the major traveling exhibition accessed through audio guides provided to museum visitors. The project also includes postcard exhibits; an interactive Web sit; and a book, "Local Heroes Changing America."
