Ernest Withers
I'm Back.
Harry Abrams has a new book coming out, Negro Baseball, which is significant as it features the photographs of Ernie Withers. Withers was one of the primary photographers of the Civil Rights era and was equally famous for his photos of the Negro leagues. One shot featured in the current issue of Smithsonian shows Jackie Robinson, Ernie Banks and Larry Doby together in the late 1940s. (Doby was the first AL league Hall of Fame member.)
The pictures are gorgeous in their own right, but fantastic as history in the making.
