  The exhibit "Darfur: Photojournalists Respond" will feature 30 photographs from those eight photographers, all of whom participated in the book "Darfur: Twenty Years of War and Genocide in Sudan," created in partnership with Proof: Media for Social Justice, Amnesty International and Holocaust Museum Houston and edited by Leora Kahn.
  
  Kahn describes the works as "the reality of genocide."
  
  "These photographs are a reminder of life's beauty and preciousness, and they dare viewers to answer the question, 'How long can we go on saying never again?"she said.
  
  The exhibit officially opens Friday, March 14, 2008 and will remain on view through August 17, 2008 in the Central Gallery at the Museum's Morgan Family Center, 5401 Caroline St., in Houston's Museum District.
  
  The general public is invited to a free preview reception and panel discussion on Thursday, March 13, from 6 to 8 p.m.
  
  Speaking at the reception will be Kahn, herself a widely known New York City photography editor, and photographer Colin Finlay, who has documented with compassion and dignity the human condition as it has unfolded throughout the world for the last 17 years.
  ...
  Kahn is Finlay's co-founder of Proof: Media for Social Justice, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to create awareness of the issues faced by populations in post-conflict societies and to encourage social change through the use of photography and education.She has been the director of photography at Workman Publishing and Corbis and is currently working on global projects with Amnesty, Participant Films and United Nations.
  
  Joining Kahn and Finlay will be Adam Sterling, director of the Sudan Investment Task Force, a project of the Genocide Intervention Network, for an update on the tragedy still unfolding in that country.
