Berkeley Establishes Jim Marshall Fellowships in Photography
3 July 2015

Jim Marshall (1936-2010) ranks among the most renowned and prolific photographers of 20th century popular music. He has been the only photographer to be honored with a Recording Academy Trustees Award, a Grammy given to non-musicians, for his photographic record of music history from the 1950s through the early 2000s.
In addition, his fellow photographers honored him with a Lucie Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music Photography in 2004.
Through his documentary photojournalism, Marshall also captured street life in San Francisco and New York, the despair of a Kentucky coal mining town, Mississippi civil rights demonstrations and Johnny Cash's live concerts at Folsom and San Quentin prisons.
Founded in 1996, the Center offers courses in hands-on photojournalism and social documentary photography. The Center exhibits world-class photographers in the halls of the Journalism School and its public events have brought distinguished photojournalists to Berkeley.
