From Intolerance to Understanding is a city-wide series of photography and film exhibitions, multi-media installations, symposia and workshops. Using the photojournalistic work of Lynn Johnson as a cornerstone, these events were created to help build a context in which Pittsburgh’s residents, educators and children can learn and respond to our society’s continuing aspirations for tolerance. From Intolerance to Understanding, explains Johnson, “will bring together community leaders and residents to catalyze the conversation on hate crimes through a series of thoughtful, educational events.”
