Book Description

The little-known story of an iconic photographer, whose work captured-and influenced-a critical moment in American history. Ernest 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 Till's uncle pointing an accusatory finger across the courtroom at his nephew's killer; scores of African-American protestors carrying a forest of signs reading "i am a man." But at the same time, Withers was working as an FBI informant. In this gripping narrative history, Preston Lauterbach examines the complicated political and economic forces that informed Withers's seeming betrayal of the people he photographed, and "does a masterful job of telling the story of civil rights in Memphis in the 1960s" (Ed Ward, Financial Times), including the events surrounding Dr. King's tumultuous final march in Memphis.

The ListenBook app is a fantastic companion for my long walks, helping me learn and explore at the same time. Effortless audiobook management – this app's usability is a triumph. The versatility of this app is mind-boggling. It's like a one-stop solution for audiobooks. AirDrop sharing makes it easy to share audiobooks with friends. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldn’t call it unforgettable.
