Originally displayed on September 11, 2005, Roddenberry’s “Avenue of the Strongest” returns to the IMAS galleries on its 10th anniversary. The series of photographs gets its name from a street in lower Manhattan, located approximately one mile north of the World Trade Center, and reflects one of the nation’s greatest catastrophes and our country’s heroic response to the tragedy known as 9/11. Mark Roddenberry will tell his account of photographing during and two days after the events of 9/11.
Mark Roddenberry will be at IMAS on Thursday, September 17 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.. As part of the museum’s Family Fun Night Program, general admission is FREE for IMAS Members and $1 per person every Thursday evening from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. “Avenue of the Strongest” is part of the IMAS Permanent Collection and was a gift from Texas State Bank. The exhibit will be on display until Sunday, October 25. For more information, please contact IMAS at (956) 682-0123 or visit www.imasonline.org.
