From Freedom
& Justice:
"This
is a photographic journey back into the legally segregated world
in which I grew up. A world entirely shaped by race and color.
This
book is an eyewitness account of many sociological events having
a direct impact on my life. These events also affected the lives
of millions of blacks and whites, especially those who lived in
the Deep South.
My
pictures most often salute the unknown people who put their lives
on the line to confront and change a system of segregation and
racism.
At
a time when our nation still struggles with the issue of race,
hopefully this book will promote racial harmony and the need for
acceptance shared by all people, despite their racial, ethnic,
and religious heritage."

the South, providing a blend of photographic journey
through segregation and a strong accompanying first-person

recommended for any seeking a thorough grounding in the
civil rights era experience.
