ISBN:  9781612193410 (hardcover) : 1612193412 (hardcover) Description:  xvii, 349 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Renowned photographer Ernest Withers captured some of the most stunning moments of the civil rights era--from the age-defining snapshot of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., riding one of the first integrated buses in Montgomery, to the haunting photo of Emmett Till's great-uncle pointing an accusing finger at his nephew's killers. He had a front row seat to history as a man trusted and beloved by the movement's inner circle ... but few people know that Withers was also an informant for the FBI. Memphis journalist Marc Perrusquia broke the story of Withers's secret life after a long investigation culminating in a landmark lawsuit against the government to release hundreds of once-classified FBI documents. Those files confirmed that, from 1958 to 1976, Withers helped the Bureau monitor pillars of the movement including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and others, as well as dozens of civil rights foot soldiers. Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of King's assassination, A Spy in Canaan explores the life, complex motivations, and legacy of the fascinating figure Ernest Withers, as well as the dark shadow that era's culture of surveillance has cast on our own time."--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 323.1196 Withers Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.1196 Withers Pe Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 323.1196 Withers Pe Damaged Add Copy to MyList
