Ford Presidential Library and Museum as she introduces us to its current showcase exhibit, "Casting Light: Photographs of the Vietnam War." She will share how she and the curatorial team developed the exhibit to recognize the 50th anniversary of the end of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. She will also discuss the importance of photojournalism in the war, including how images of the conflict influenced President Ford’s conviction that the fighting could not continue.
