The Yakima Valley Library will serve as home to the newest Irwin Nash exhibition, starting Saturday, January 11.
Nash documented migrant labor and life in the Yakima Valley between 1967 and 1976 along with the agricultural protest movements in the state at that time.
According to a release, the library will present a collection of 46 Irwin Nash photographs from the Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections at Washington State University (WSU).
The images capture the moments of daily life such as children playing, Chicano student meetings, family scenes, asparagus harvests as well as chronicle an era of rising labor and protest movements, strikes, and social awareness that swept across Washington state and the nation, WSU said.
