Photographer accepts William Allen White award

A Friday afternoon ceremony at Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union honored the world-renowned photojournalist for exemplifying William Allen White's ideals in service to journalism and to his community.

In his photography, Clarkson has perfected the art of capturing historic moments. His photographs have appeared on the covers of Sports Illustrated and Time magazines and on Wheaties boxes. He has photographed presidents and first ladies and other famous and infamous people.

But the 1956 KU School of Journalism graduate told the crowd of nearly 200 that it was the early days in his career that were his best moments.

“My greatest satisfaction and best lessons were learned at the Lawrence Journal-World and, for 22 years, the Topeka Capital-Journal," he said.
