The secret tragedy of Martin Luther King Jr.'s last march, revealed in Preston Lauterbach's "Bluff City"
Newsweek: Withers's association with the FBI ended in the late ’70s. The decades of compensation allowed the photographer to put his eight children through college. By the ’80s, his work was famous, exhibited all over the country. He spent the last two decades of his life, until his death in 2007, publishing books and delivering lectures. The Withers Collection Museum and Gallery remains on Beale Street, evidence of a rightfully celebrated if imperfect artist—a man who “personifies the flawed hero,” writes Lauterbach. “I think we need to embrace him for all he was.” h/t Leanne Kleinmann
