Rise Above

Clifford Oliver reflects on his time in the Navy during the conflict in Vietnam during which he faced racism in the Deep South during his training and then later on ship.

Although his time in service was a rude awakening to the systemic racism that existed in the United States during the 1960s and 70s, it also helped him develop a passion for photography. After his time in service, his passion soon evolved into a career.

Rise Above won a regional New England Emmy award in 2019 for "Best Magazine Feature/Segment"
