The family of long-time North Carolina Central University photographer Robert Lawson has announced details of the memorial service. It will be held at St. Joseph’s AME Church on Fayetteville Street at 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 31.
Beginning as a protégé of Alexander Rivera, Lawson took photographs of people and events on campus for 50 years. He succeeded Rivera as fulltime campus photographer in 1992 and retired in 2013.
