Roots of Change and the Bill Lane Center for the American West are proud to announce the launch of journalist and photographer Lisa Hamilton's innovative multimedia project "Real Rural" — bringing California's rural life to the state's urban public. The portraits, along with surprising, provocative quotes from the subjects, will be featured on BART trains throughout the Bay Area beginning January 30, 2012, and on an interactive web site. We invite you to join us Tuesday, January 31, 2012 to preview her project, meet Lisa Hamilton and hear her talk about the project.
