The littleknown story of an iconic photographer, whose work capturedand influenceda critical moment in American history.Ernest Withers took some of the most legendary images of the 1950s and 60s: Martin Luther King, Jr., riding a newly integrated bus in Montgomery, Alabama; Emmett Tills uncle pointing an accusatory finger across the courtroom at his nephews killer; scores of AfricanAmerican protestors carrying a forest of signs reading i am a man. But at the same time, Withers was working as an FBI informant. In this gripping narrative history, Preston Lauterbach examines the complicated political and economic forces that informed Witherss seeming betrayal of the people he photographed, and does a masterful job of telling the story of civil rights in Memphis in the 1960s (Ed Ward, Financial Times), including the events surrounding Dr. Kings tumultuous final march in Memphis. 15 blackandwhite photographs
