Ernest Withers captured some of the most iconic moments of the civil rights movement--from the rare photo of Martin Luther King, Jr., in repose to the haunting photo of Emmet Till's great-uncle pointing an accusing finger at Till's killers. He was trusted and beloved by King's inner circle, and had a front row seat to history. This book proposes that Withers was also an informant for the FBI--and that his photos helped the Bureau identify and surveil the era's greatest figures.
