Controversy and Hope : the civil rights photographs of James Karales
Julian Cox with Rebekah Jacob and Monica Karales
James H. Karales, 1930-2002
University of South Carolina, 2013.
New Book Area  E185.615 .K287 2013

"What makes Karales's photos stand out is his ability to find the emotional core and humanity in the images, whether they are of seemingly ordinary activities, of tense moments fraught with danger, or of famous figures such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his family, to whom Karales had unparalleled access as a photographer. Cox provides a thorough chronicle of Karales's personal life, education, career, and involvement in the civil rights movement. The text is followed by 92 of his photographs, most from the march to Montgomery, that record a crucial period in the civil rights movement. Recommended for anyone interested in photojournalism and modern American history."--Library Journal
