Photographer, historian, activist and all-around nice guy Richard Breland attended a public event and talked about his life in pictures tonight.  Much of his archive features pictures of Syracuse’s old 15th Ward. Breland’s work, which will be displayed on campus until March, is the latest public showing for the Black Syracuse Project coordinated by Syracuse University.
