A testament to an iconic African-American photographer of the civil rights movement and the culture and events he documented – including the Selma-to-Montgomery march, the Emmett Till trial, James Meredith’s March Against Fear, Memphis when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, and dozens of “slice of life” photos, too.
- Ernest Withers is in the news today. Several years ago, he was revealed as an FBI informant. Many people dispute whether he was willing to cooperate or was ensnared by the FBI. Nobody disputes the value of his photography. It offers an insider’s view of the civil rights movement.
- Includes Wither’s neighborhood work, with 100+ photos of weddings, funerals, and businesses that create a remarkable portrait of life in the South after the war
- Includes the remarkable music scene in Memphis—such as portraits of B.B. King and Elvis Presley—showing the revolution taking place in music as well as civil rights.
- This book is supported by a Memphis museum that holds regular exhibits throughout the region. Withers’ photographs appear in national museums across the country.
- Introduction by Civil rights leader and former UN Ambassador and US Congressman Andrew Young
What set his work apart was that he goes beyond the political struggles to explain the civil rights movement that changed the country. Withers was primarily a local photographer, working as a freelancer for the Memphis World and Tri-State Defender starting in 1948. His photographs of the everyday world—bridge clubs, funerals, people at work and play, and street life—create a stunning record of what it was like to live in Memphis and the Mid-South. He was also a noted baseball photographer, documenting Negro League baseball in Memphis, and a noted music photographer, taking thousands of photographs of jazz, blues, rock ’n’ roll and R&B performers.
This book combines this work for the first time and uses first-hand accounts of people who lived in the South to explain these transformative years. The photographs, taken as bare-bones journalism, rises to the level of fine art decades later.
They are also important examples of photojournalism, documenting decades of struggle in Memphis and the Mid-South. They serve as an important missing link in the civil rights narrative.
In 2010, three years after his death, the Memphis Commercial Appeal newspaper published a series of articles that showed that Withers was a paid informant of the FBI. This book goes beyond the headlines to show how Withers created an essential record for all of us to better understand life in the South during this crucial era.
