Withers (August 7, 1922 - October 15, 2007) was an African-American photojournalist. He documented over 60 years of African American history in the segregated Southern United States, with iconic images of the Montgomery bus boycott, Emmett Till, Memphis sanitation strike, Negro league baseball, and musicians including those related to Memphis blues and Memphis soul. Withers's work has been archived by the Library of Congress and has been slated for the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History and Culture, in Washington, D.C. Withers exhibited interest in photography from a young age. He took his first photograph in high school after his sister gave him a camera she received from a classmate. During World War II, he received training at the Army School of Photography. After the war, Withers served as one of Memphis' first African American police officers. Withers was active for approximately 60 years, with his most noted work being the images captured of the Civil Rights Movement. He traveled with Martin Luther King Jr. during his public life. Withers's coverage of the Emmett Till murder trial brought national attention to the racial violence taking place during the 1950s in Mississippi, among other places. Withers served as official photographer for Stax Records for 20 years. Withers, Ernest C. (photographs) (illustrator).…

Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket As Issued. First Edition. Illustrated pictorial still wraps; Oblong, 11 by 8.5 inches; 86 pages with a bibliography. The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear with only a hint of corner wear. Showcases powerful images that capture defining moments and figures of the Civil Rights Movement. Ernest Withers's work stands out for its unique role in documenting history, particularly pivotal scenes like Martin Luther King Jr. with sanitation strikers and Emmett Till's uncle in court. His images serve as both a historical record and an artistic statement, offering glimpses of courage and the intense struggle for equality. Although Withers is celebrated for his contributions, his legacy is complex due to later revelations that he was an FBI informant during the same period he was documenting civil rights actions. This has sparked debate on whether his dual role detracts from the power of his work. This collection underscores the role of visual art in advancing social justice and preserving memory, and its images continue to inspire dialogue about Withers's dual roles in activism and informant work.
