Softcover. bw pictorial, glossy textured wraps w/ black printing; french flaps. 199 pgs w/ bw plates. "A Civil Rights Journey' presents the astonishing archive of Dr Doris Derby: photographer, activist, and professor of anthropology. Active throughout the Civil Rights Movements of the mid twentieth century in the southern United States, particularly Mississippi, Derby acted as a photographer, organiser and teacher, making photographs of the intimate and human side of the everyday struggle for survival and human rights. She photographed both the organisation of political events, meetings, and funerals, alongside the literacy, co-operative and community theatre programmes, many of which she founded, and encountered much danger and tragedy along the way. Here we see the speeches and protests that gave the movement its defining moments, as well as vital figures including Muhammad Ali, Alice Walker, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Jesse Jackson. We also see classrooms and church halls, doctors and secretaries: everyday scenes of joy, frustration, curiosity, and connection, in which the determination and collective actions and resolve and actions of the movement are equally expressed. This extensive volume presents Derby's images in sequences that between them document rural and urban poverty, offer lucid ethnographies of particular streets and families, track the day-to-day lives of African American children growing up in the Mississippi Delta, and bear witness to such pivotal events as the Jackson State University shooting, the funeral of Martin Luther King Jr., and the 1968 Democratic Convention. Derby's photographs offer us an invaluably rich portrait of a historical moment whose effects have defined today's world and issues a vital reassertion of the work that remains to be done. Artist photographer Hannah Collins has worked with Doris Derby to recount the events photographed in extensive texts which accompany the images"--World/Publisher's Description.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. As a young woman not in the military but fighting in the troops of the Civil Rights Movement, I lived in a war zone for nine years in the southern part of the American homeland. My existence and struggle was an unreal but very real experience in many ways. Growing up in the north I had heard about racism, and the socio-economic trials and tribulations my family faced, but I hadn't witnessed and experienced it up close and dangerously personal until I worked and fought in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Work in the first two areas was relatively short, but work and life in Mississippi, 1963-1972, seemed like more than a decade. It was a serious, arduous, meaningful, intense existence, focused on educational, cultural, socio-economic and political change projects.Experiences in my first year in Mississippi, working with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the Council of Federated Organizations (COFO), the Delta Folk Festivals and the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP), in Jackson, and at Tougaloo College resulted in the forthcoming poems. They were written while I was living in the little white house across from the college, which is still there, working as a teacher in the Adult Literacy Project initiated by SNCC. Roommates Sandra "Casey" Hayden and Helen O'Neal, were also my co-workers. John O'Neal, another Literacy Project worker and I, along with Gilbert Moses, a journalist for the Jackson Free Press, co-founded the Free Southern Theater (FST) in 1963 at Tougaloo College. As participants in these groups we faced many trials and tribulations, some of which are reflected in this book. In the process, our activities and discussions were thought provoking, creative, argumentative, often dangerous, sometimes quite humorous as we continued to work productively together. Although we had disappointments, often scars and setbacks, we accomplished many goals we hoped for, with unexpected and far reaching results. In the years to follow, my time was spent working with the Poor Peoples Corporation, the Liberty House Handcraft Cooperatives, Child Development Group of Mississippi (CDGM) Head Start, Southern Media, Inc., Jackson State College's Art Department and the Margaret Walker Center based in Jackson. Fieldwork was in the Mississippi Delta, in Tchula, Durant, Milestone, Cleveland, Mound Bayou, Greenville, and in other places like Holly Springs, Newell Chapel and West Point in North Mississippi. It resulted in my documenting and saving a very large accumulation of historic photographs that I took which reflect African American life during the Civil Rights era.The people I met, learned from, loved, admired and socialized with, provide spiritual memories of those I relied on and who relied on me. They protected, befriended, laughed with and created with me. They were a crucial part of my struggle to keep faith, carry out our God-inspired mission for equality, to persevere and overcome adversity. They are vital pieces in my life's patchwork quilt, a puzzle which encompasses the combination of memories, upbringing, personal experiences, reflections and drive behind what I have created with this collection of my thirty-seven photographic images and thirty-four poetic works.
