Controversy and hope : the civil rights photographs of James Karales

By James H. Karales. Columbia, South Carolina: University of South Carolina Press, 2013.

Controversy and Hope is an immersion into not only the 54-mile Voting Rights marches from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, but also a view into a range of civil rights events from 1960 to 1965. Photojournalist James Karales was also an acquaintance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and had exclusive access to him and the events that took place surrounding the 1965 demonstrations against racist segregation and repression that had disenfranchised many African Americans. The 93 plates in this book, some of which share personal insights into the life of Dr. King, grant a view into the Civil Rights era that few have captured as well as Karales.
