The new exhibit is called " ______ ."

Over 50 years ago a photographic exhibit called "The Family of Man" opened in New York City. It was a popular show with critics and the public. This fall, a similar exhibit opened in Los Angeles. It was organized by the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California. The new exhibit is called "The 21st Century Family of Man."
    In 1955, photographer Edward Steichen organized a collection of more than 500 pictures of and by people all over the world. The photographers were professionals and non-professionals alike.
    Nick Cullen is a professor of public diplomacy at the University of Southern California. He says Steichen’s exhibit brought in crowds as it traveled from country to country.
    Nick Cullen said: "I think part of its success was that everybody could recognize something of themselves in the exhibit and so the Family of Man show belonged to everybody."
    The collection was called "The Family of Man." It was shown first at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The show was designed to express the connections that link humans everywhere.
    29-year-old photographer Paul Rockower shows his own Family of Man pictures in the new exhibit at the University of Southern California. He says it is a re-imagining of the first show with a modern touch.
    Mr. Rockower has traveled and studied outside the United States since he was a teenager. He always had his camera with him. He took pictures of people, places and things around him. The exhibit presents about 70 of those images.
    It is divided into several parts. In the part called "Children of Man," one photograph shows two little girls hugging in the sunlight on the street of an Asian town. In "Family of Man," a dark-haired, light-eyed woman with a bright blue head covering looks intensely at something hidden from view. In "Cities of Man," one photo shows a street light reflected in water on a stone pathway. Other parts of the exhibit include "Faith of Man" and "Wonders of Man". They include photos of the Great Wall of China and Machu Picchu in Peru.
    Mr. Rockower is a graduate student of public diplomacy at the University of Southern California. He says his photographs express a common idea among all the different faces and places.
    Paul Rockower said: "I think the theme that comes out is really the unity of mankind that we are all the same, the things that we share are things like family, like faith, like friendship. These are the things that are universal qualities found everywhere you go."
