Charles Moore dies at 79; photojournalist's work brought national attention to civil rights movement
The Alabama native was at the center of unrest in the South in the 1960s, taking emotional and often distressing images of protests, integration efforts and Martin Luther King Jr. for Life magazine.
Montgomery, Ala., 1958: The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is sprawled across the booking desk at a police station as his stunned wife, Coretta, looks on. He was arrested for loitering at the Montgomery Courthouse and released when his identity became known to the police. (Charles Moore / Black Star)
