520    "Ernest C. Withers was one of the most prominent African-
       American photographers during the civil rights years. 
       During the course of his work, he took thousands 
       photographs that document the Movement--from the Emmett 
       Till trial in 1955 to the assassination of Martin Luther 
       King in 1968. What set his work apart was that he goes 
       beyond the political struggles to show the human face of 
       Movement. Withers worked primarily a local photographer, 
       as a freelancer for the Memphis World and Tri-State 
       Defender starting in 1948. His photographs of the everyday
       world--proms, 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, 
       and a noted music photographer, taking thousands of 
       photographs of early jazz, blues, rock 'n' roll and R&B 
       performers. This book combines all of his work for the 
       first time and uses first-hand accounts from men and women
       who lived in the South to explain these transformative 
       years. The photographs, taken as bare-bones journalism, 
       rise 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. 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."--Publisher's
