Publisher's Synopsis
Taken between 1961 and 1965 throughout the U.S., Bruce Davidson's intensely observed photographs take us into the heart of the civil rights movement. A compelling work about community pride and survival, work, love and self-determination, the images beautifully reproduced here include everything from political demonstrations and conventions, young people out on the town, share croppers at work and at rest, and wedding guests. Linking these seemingly unrelated tales, Davidson reveals the civil rights movement beyond the violent, racially charged images we so often see.
