Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

As recipient of a photography fellowship, Randall chronicled the freedom movement in Hattiesburg, MS, during the summer of 1964, a dangerous mission for a young black male from New York. Most of his nearly 1800 negatives had never been seen until 1997, when Tusa, archivist at the University of Southern Mississippi, was gathering material on the Civil Rights Movement and Randall donated his collection. Tusa's stirring introduction and the more than 100 black-and-white photographs, culled from Randall's collection, depict the freedom schools, community centers, voter registration efforts, nonviolent volunteers, activists such as Pete Seeger, and much more. Critical to understanding our heritage, both volumes are recommended to all types of libraries. Joan Levin, MLS, Chicago

5.0 out of 5 stars Treasure Hidden 35 Years, January 24, 2001
By Sheila Michaels (St. Louis, MOed States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Only five of the 1800 photos from which these were selected had been printed before. The photographer had put them away, after spending a summer in Mississippi, with a Whitney grant. As an artist, the time had never been ripe to look at them again. This is the only record of a single town in the midst of the Civil Rights revolution in America. It is the record of the largest project in Mississippi, which was overlooked and unpublicised at the time, probably for reasons of personal conflict & sexism. It is also a moment in the civil rights revolution preserved with the sensibilities of a participant, who is African-American & American Indian. It is a loving but never sentimental look at the people of the town in the midst of change, and of the young white college students & middle-aged, middle class African-American professionals who volunteered their services in aid of that revolutionary movement. One bookseller has called the introduction to the photographs "the best I have ever read." It is a good introductory history for the majority of this country who were born after that time. And it is a very beautiful book.
