Seller's Description:
Fine in fine dust jacket. Fine, like new in mylar covered dustjacket. Sewn binding. Paper over boards. 207 p. Audience: General/trade. Moore was an Alabama news photographer who in the late 1950s began documenting what would become the Civil Rights movement. Initially, gatherings by Martin Luther King and his followers were no more than local news, but in 1963, Moore's shocking photos of blacks being doused with fire hoses, beaten bloody with clubs, and mauled by dogs at the hands not of racists and Klansman but of police officers made the rest of the country if not the rest of the world fully aware of what was transpiring in the American South. These photos, which captured the horrors better than words ever could, forced the public and the politicians to recognize the need for immediate change. Moore's photos undeniably were as influential to the passage of Civil Rights legislature as any march or speech and no doubt altered the course of our nation's history. This volume collects 188 examples of Moore's works along with text by Durham, a LIFE magazine reporter who often accompanied Moore, and an introduction by former King aide and UN ambassador Andrew Young.
It is criminal that the Civil Rights Movement lacks the visual documentary footage it deserves. Human beings, bleeding hearts and souls, were treated as raw meat by the bastard ignorant machine of the Southern States. But...where are the photos of the suffering? Where is the proof of the crime?
It is in the photos of Charles Moore. It is in this book. A book that all of us should see. A book that all of us should read. A book that is relevant right now.
