On this day I remember the civil rights photos of #CharlesMoore.
Moore was connected the the movement as soon as he could be. His images were so powerful, that U.S. SenatorJacob Javits, said that Moore's pictures "helped to spur passage of the Civil Rights Act of He inspired me along with a hundred other photojournalist that are still working today. My only connection to the movement was a assignment from #PeopleMagazine in 2005.
Here is some background on the image. Vernon Ferdinand Dahmer, Sr. (March 10, 1908 – January 11, 1966) was an American civil rights leader and president of the Forrest County chapter of the NAACP in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
On the night of January 10, 1966, the Dahmer home was firebombed. As Ellie and her children escaped the inferno, gunshots were fired from the streets and Vernon returned fire from inside the house. He was severely burned from the waist up before he could escape and died the next day. The Dahmer home, grocery store, and car were destroyed in the fire.
The Hattiesburg area was stunned by the attack. The Chamber of Commerce under William Carey College President Dr. Ralph Noonkester led a community effort to rebuild the Dahmer home. Local and state businesses such as the Masonite Corporation, Alexander Materials, and Frierson Building Materials donated materials, local unions donated their services, and students from the University of Southern Mississippi volunteered unskilled labor.
Authorities indicted fourteen men, most with Ku Klux Klan connections, for the attack on the Dahmer home. Thirteen were brought to trial, eight on charges of arson and murder. Four were convicted and one Billie Roy Pitts (Sam Bowers' body guard) entered a guilty plea and turned state's evidence. Bowers died in prison in 2005.
