Withers (August 7, 1922 – October 15, 2007) was an African American freelance photographer famous for his black and white images of the segregated South in the 1950s and 60s, Negro league baseball, and the Memphis blues scene.
His images captured America for nearly 60 years, preserving the good and the bad, in particular, racism.-The Black Hipsters-

View Larger Sometimes I find a book and get so excited about it I want to sleep with it under my pillow to keep it safe from harm. This is one of those books. Found at a bargain price of £1.50 in a local charity shop about Hawaii and it’s inhabitants (published in 1971); it’s a beautiful hippy trip back in time. Original photographs taken by Robert B. Goodman and retaken by me to show you. Enjoy.
