dedicated to the 135 photographers of different nations who are known to
have died or to have disappeared while covering the wars in Indochina, Vietnam,
Cambodia and Laos. Their lives are remembered through their work here
assembled."
On October 1, 1999 the Kentucky History Center opened an exhibit of photographs
taken by photographers who had been killed covering the war. Many of the
photos I had seen in Life Magazine and other publications. Many of the
photographers worked for AP and UPI. I was unaware until I visited the exhibit
that some of these photographers had been killed.
(Excerpt from the Requiem presentation brochure)
"Upon completion of this exhibition (November 15, 1999), the photographs
contained in Requiem-The Vietnam Collection will be transported to Hanoi
in early 2000. There they will be displayed and presented to the Vietnamese
People as a gift from the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky-in keeping
with the spirit of Hope, Healing and History."
