The history of #Photography is the history of white people in power behind the lens. We've had plenty of #BlackPhotographers, but #PhotoHistory isn't defined by us. Cameras have always targeted us.

When @MagnumPhotos failed to issue legal on @fstoppers then it was obvious in fact he'd just scratched the surface.
@mustardphoto blew it up next. Again I remember her building the courage. Incredible woman.
And then @kristenchick after @AliciaVera spoke up.
😍😍😍 you all.

It's important to note that without @kiell none of this stuff about David Alan Harvey would have come out.
@MagnumPhotos threw some real shit at him in an attempt to undermine his reporting. I saw the cost.
But his bravery helped women to come forward.
TW: Sexual Assault & Harassment
This is all so deeply disgusting. What in God's name was current @ICPhotog Director & @MagnumPhotos Director 2004-11 #MarkLubell doing about this climate of abuse during his tenure, while #DavidAlanHarvey was preying on the women in this article?
Eleven women say they experienced inappropriate behavior from David Alan Harvey. One said she told Magnum in 2009, and others say it was an open secret in the industry for years. Yet Magnum did not take action until August. My report for @CJR

The lack of accountability in professional photography organizations and environments is absurd. No wonder David Alan Harvey could be on this panel in the first place. Really horrible all in all.
Update. They just deleted the tweets. Removed Harvey from the website. Like it didn't happen.

Hi new followers! You can see more of the work we've been doing over the past few months on our Instagram, including educational posts, questions and demands of @ICPhotog, and highlights of Black ICP alumni work:

Also it begs mentioning that a lot of our effort has been made more difficult because of the regime of NDA’s for laid off and former employees, alongside new contracts that stipulate certain employees are unable to communicate with non-employees about any internal proceedings.

Yes. And that (imho) speaks to the lens in which they view you.
It's a failure of leadership.
The should pick up the phone.
Yes, thank you for these words @duckrabbitblog. The main issue has been getting @ICPhotog to hear anything we have been saying for the past 6 months in earnest, or at bare minimum, recognize our work.
I was looking at @ICPhotog board after this David Campany Harvey mess. And. Anyway. Troubling.
So I think 👇👇👇 the peeps behind this have an important message. Are brave. And deserved to be heard.

I'm not sure enough people quite get it.
@MagnumPhotos have been outing children, some very young, as 'child prostitutes'.
They have been doing this for profit and under the cover of 'journalism'.
Hey @ICPhotog, we see you’re not promoting this like you promote everything else #DavidCampany does - wonder why?
1: Extraordinary. @ricoheurope and @ICPhotog David Campany partner with David Alan Harvey. Currently suspended from @magnumphotos for alleged harassment.
Alleged to have shot naked and semi-naked Thai children, in private spaces. Photos sold by @MagnumPhotos as 'prostitutes'
#ICPConcerned: Global Images for Global Crisis is the main exhibition @icp is reopening with. We are demanding ICP credits staff who labored voluntarily to curate the imagery from a pool of tens of thousands of images.
