March 8 to 11 will see the holding of PMA 07 by the Photo Marketing Association at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This is an international convention and trade show centered on the photography industry. But it’s not all about business.

On the night of March 9, Friday, the association will host its PMA 07 “Evening with an Artist,” featuring the famous civil rights photographer Charles Moore, whose work illustrates the power of photography to motivate people and change society.

“Evening with an Artist” will showcase Moore’s 50-year career as a photojournalist. His Civil Rights photos helped to spur passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 after they were shown to Congress.
