Election Day: Chicago, Grant Park

Photos by Katie Hayes (left), Christina Burke (right)
Six of our Photojournalism master’s students recently traveled to Chicago to cover events leading up to President-Elect Obama's acceptance speech in Grant Park. They were accompanied by Clinical Professor of Photojournalism Eli Reed. In the words of one of the students, "…I did not realize how much I would feel a part of something larger." We hope you enjoy their reflections--in both words and photos—of this momentous historical time and event.
