CCLP is honored to welcome David Hume Kennerly to the Center as a Senior Fellow. Kennerly brings a wealth of unique experiences and knowledge to the Center.
Kennerly has had a distinguished career as a “political photographer” including coverage of the wars in Vietnam and Cambodia and 11 United States Presidents. Kennerly’s photos have appeared on more than 50 major magazine covers, and he has documented history in over a hundred countries.
At 25 he was one of the youngest winners of the Pulitzer Prize in Journalism. Kennerly’s 1972 award for Feature Photography included images of the Vietnam and Cambodia wars, refugees escaping from East Pakistan into India, and the Ali v. Frazier “Fight of the Century” World Heavyweight Championship at Madison Square Garden. American Photo Magazine named Kennerly “One of the 100 Most Important People in Photography”, and Washingtonian Magazine called Kennerly one of the 50 most important journalists in Washington, DC.
