The American Public Health Association (APHA), Labor Caucus and Peace Caucus host a nationally touring photo exhibit entitled, "Unembedded: Four Independent Photojournalists on the War in Iraq" at the AFL-CIO. This extraordinary exhibit of 60 images tells the story of the impact of war on Iraq - on the lives of its people "on the ground" where the war is being waged. The exhibit includes interpretive panels about the war's effect on human health and the environment in Iraq, as well as its impact on returning American veterans, their families, and communities. Also included is a focus on the number of journalists and media staff killed in Iraq. "Unembedded" is a book and photo exhibition project that brings together four photojournalists who have worked extensively in Iraq outside the confines of the U.S. military's official "embedding" program. The book and exhibit give audiences a nuanced view of the violence in Iraq that followed the US-led invasion of 2003. The exhibition will be held in conjunction with the APHA Annual Meeting and Public Health Exposition in Washington, DC.

A SPECIAL OPENING RECEPTION will be held on Monday, November 5 from 6:00P to 8:30P and will feature leaders from APHA, the Labor and Peace movements, the Iraqi and Veterans communities, and a special presentation by photojournalist Kael Alford, who will discuss her experiences while "unembedded" in Iraq.
