Join the Society of Professional Journalists DC Pro Chapter on May 24 at 7 p.m. for a conversation with Dennis Brack Sr., an award-winning photographer whose career spans six decades and whose work has appeared in many publications, including Life, Time, Newsweek and The Washington Post.
Brack is best known for covering 11 administrations as a White House photographer, beginning with the Kennedy presidency while an intern for the Dallas Morning News and ending during the presidency of Donald Trump. Brack is also known for his iconic photographs of The Beatles’ first U.S. concert, which took place on Feb. 11, 1964 at the Washington Coliseum.
Brack will be interviewed by Alexandria Times Publisher Denise Dunbar, who met Brack in the mid-1990s when they joined the same dinner group at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. They will discuss that snowy day almost 60 years ago when Brack followed the Beatles as they arrived in D.C. by train, paused for photos on the National Mall, did the Coliseum concert and then a reception at the British Embassy. Brack will also discuss the stories behind many of his best-known photos and the historical figures he covered
