Civil Rights • Images

In Florida and across the country, photographers captured dramatic moments of the movement to gain civil rights for African Americans. From the bombed remains of the Mims, Florida home of Harry T. Moore, “first martyr” of the modern Civil Rights Movement, to battles to prevent blacks from swimming on St. Augustine Beach these photos document this struggle for equality.
