Marvin Tupper Jones: Documenting the World and Now His Home Village
Marvin Tupper Jones made his mark as a Washington, DC-based documentary photographer before starting the Chowan Discovery Group that researches, documents, preserves, and presents the history of his home area, the Winton, North Carolina Triangle.
The Group has shared its findings and documentation via a variety of methods from stage presentations to historical markers. “We hope that people will find new value in the world that immediately surrounds them,” explained Jones.
