Who was Ernest Withers? Most Americans may not know the name, but they do know his photographs. 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 one of his nephews killers; scores of African-American protestors, carrying a forest of signs reading "I am a man." But while he enjoyed unparalleled access to the inner workings of the civil rights movement, Withers was working as an informant for the FBI.Author: Preston Lauterbach. Paperback;352 pages.
