Withers (August 7, 1922 - October 15, 2007) was an African-American photojournalist. He documented over 60 years of African American history in the segregated Southern United States, with iconic images of the Montgomery bus boycott, Emmett Till, Memphis sanitation strike, Negro league baseball, and musicians including those related to Memphis blues and Memphis soul. Withers's work has been archived by the Library of Congress and has been slated for the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History and Culture, in Washington, D.C. Withers exhibited interest in photography from a young age. He took his first photograph in high school after his sister gave him a camera she received from a classmate. During World War II, he received training at the Army School of Photography. After the war, Withers served as one of Memphis' first African American police officers. Withers was active for approximately 60 years, with his most noted work being the images captured of the Civil Rights Movement. He traveled with Martin Luther King Jr. during his public life. Withers's coverage of the Emmett Till murder trial brought national attention to the racial violence taking place during the 1950s in Mississippi, among other places. Withers served as official photographer for Stax Records for 20 years.…
