Let Us March On!

Ernest C. Withers’ photographic coverage of events in the Civil Rights Movement shook the conscience of the nation.

He believed that if the struggle for equality could be shown to the world, people would surely move to change the status quo. Let Us March On! features 60 photographs that document pivotal moments in the history of the Civil Rights Movement.
