This book includes the words of Mr. Anderson, portrait photographer for the black community in a segregated city know as a cultural capital of Mississippi in the twentieth century. Home to Walker Percy and his family was also home to a large middle class black population who asked Mr. Anderson to document their birthday parties, high school graduations, weddings and funerals with his camera. Anderson was at the center of the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi in the years before Emmett Till's murder brought this struggle to the national stage. A remarkable series of portraits of dapper preachers and activists is paired with a group portrait in which one of these men appears as a worker in overalls. Doctors trained at Meharrey staffed Greenville's hospital with two wings -- one for each race. This world ended with the end of legal segregation. The collection now belongs to the National Museum of African American History and culture. Essays include transcripts from interviews conducted with Anderson in Greenville, an historical account of the Mississippi Civil Rights movement in the late 40s and early 1950s.
A transcendent story in which Anderson explains his first teacher told him: when you grow up, you must vote. And if you vote, you could even grow up to be President some day. the same words that inspired my immigrant grandparents on the lower east side, inspired these young black kids in rural Mississippi. A great Story.
