Previously unseen civil rights photos can now be seen
The Birmingham News has published work of its photographers from the civil rights movement. Wow. Definitely worth checking out.
The section is the result of research by Alexander Cohn, a 30-year-old former photo intern at The News. In November 2004, Cohn went through an equipment closet at the newspaper in search of a lens and saw a cardboard box full of negatives marked, “Keep. Do Not Sell.”
