Board of Commissioners to honor photojournalist

The Oakland County Board of Commissioners will honor photojournalist and author, Linda Solomon, with a Proclamation at its Thursday, April 21, 9:30 a.m. board meeting. An Oakland County resident, Solomon was recently inducted into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame. She was instrumental in assisting the Oakland County Family-Focused Juvenile Drug Court by having participants in the program become involved in the "My Hope for America" photography project. Her "Pictures of Hope" project with Tucson, Arizona, children who were living in homeless shelters was featured on CBS Evening News. She has divided her career between capturing the most famous personalities of our time and giving back to the community. Published: Mon, Apr 18, 2011
