Ryan Noll and I are researching Sebastiao Salgado for this project. So far, we are familiarizing ourselves with his work so we can figure out what our individual papers might be about. We've also found multiple sources and articles about him.
One article talks about Salgado being recognized for his photographs that delve into social issues. It names a few, but reminded me of The End of Polio: A Global Effort to End a Disease (2003) which documents the immunization of almost 12,000,000 kids in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This article also lists numerous other social issues that his photographs document.

Perfect citations make me so very happy. Well done, Megan.
