Pre-Owned Powerful Days : Civil Rights Photography of Charles Moore (Paperback)
Key item features
Iconic photographs of climactic moments in the Civil Rights Movements from famed photographer Charles Moore
Charles Moore's photographs are among the most moving and iconic images from the American Civil Rights Movement. Decades after they first astonished the world, his images remain internationally known icons—vivid, searing portraits of pivotal moments in the struggle for racial equality in the American South.
This chronological collection of Moore's most compelling and dramatic images, taken as the movement progressed through Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Georgia, highlights activity from 1958 to 1965. Included are the iconic scenes of:
- black protestors huddled in a doorway to escape the crippling blasts of fire hoses in Birmingham;
- a white bigot swinging a baseball bat at the head of a black woman during the desegregation of the Capitol Cafeteria in Montgomery;
- a young and stunned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. pinned to the counter of a police precinct, his arm twisted behind his back;
- the devastating aftermath of "Bloody Sunday" on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma;
- Bull Connor's ferocious police dogs attacking a protestor in downtown Birmingham.
