'Flashback: Atlanta in the 1970s, the Photography of Boyd Lewis'
Boyd Lewis chronicled an often unsettling era of change and progress in Atlanta in the 1970s from his distinctly subversive perch within Atlanta’s alternative press. That important era in the city’s evolution came alive anew through “Flashback: Atlanta in the 70s, The Photography of Boyd Lewis,” an exhibition at the Margaret Mitchell House. Featuring 60 images and three videos, the exhibition was on view at the Atlanta History Center-operated Margaret Mitchell House in 2016. Lewis moved to Atlanta in 1969, and wrote and reported for the Atlanta Voice, the Atlanta Inquirer, radio station WABE and CNN. Flashback: Atlanta in the 70s was drawn from and showcased the Boyd Lewis photographs housed in the Kenan Research Center at the Atlanta History Center, which began with a gift in 1985. In April 2016, Lewis enhanced the collection with roughly 15,000 images.

A fan holds a sign critical of Major League Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn for his interference in Hank Aaron’s drive to eclipse Babe Ruth’s home run record in Atlanta. When the Atlanta Braves opened the 1974 season at Cincinnati, Aaron was two home runs shy of the mark and hoped to sit the bench to better position himself to break the record in Atlanta, but the commissioner refused. Read more about the work of Boyd Lewis and the new exhibition of his work here.
