"Joe Rosenthal and the Photo that Changed America" Exhibit

From September 2021 to February 2022, the California State Library and and the Joe Rosenthal Chapter of the USMC Combat Correspondents Association collaborated on an exhibit titled "Joe Rosenthal and the Photo that Changed America", which showcases the work of the San Francisco photographer 76 years after his iconic Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima was taken in the midst of one of the bloodiest battles of World War II. This video tour of the exhibit was made possible by the California State Library Foundation. Joe Rosenthal is famous for the flag raising photo that earned him a Pulitzer Prize, but he also enjoyed a decades-long photography career with the Associated Press, the Merchant Marine, and the San Francisco Chronicle. Rejected for military service in WWII due to poor eyesight, Rosenthal served as a combat photographer, joining the ranks of military and civilian journalists who put their lives on the line to collect the news we see at home. Other conflict journalists are represented in the exhibit, including Eddie Adams, whose graphic photo of a Vietcong suspect’s execution became a defining image of the Vietnam War. Army photographer and infantryman Jim Hardy’s photos and drawings from Vietnam will be on display, as well as his current work, including wood carvings depicting men he met and lost during the war. Along with the Pulitzer Prize, Joe Rosenthal earned many honors and awards during a decades-long photojournalism career. He considered his status as Honorary Marine his greatest honor.
