Photojournalist and Pulitzer Center grantee Justin Cook will visit Forsyth Tech Community College in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on November 17, 2026. He will engage with students and faculty, host a lunch conversation with student journalists, and deliver a talk about his career and work as a photojournalist.
Cook is a photographer and journalist based in Durham, North Carolina. His work documents the resilience of communities living on the margins in the United States, often exploring environmental issues, climate change, and climate solutions.
His Pulitzer Center-supported project—'Origins': Climate Change, Resistance, and Solutions in Princeville, North Carolina, America's Oldest Black Town— examines how the historic town is drawing on agriculture, geology, and history to build climate resilience.
