Historic Civil Rights Photographs Found at a Birmingham Newspaper
An intern at the Birmingham News in Birmingham, AL discovered a box of never before released photographs from the Civil Rights Era that had been kept in a box since the 1950's and 1960's. The photos were stored in a box marked "Keep. Do Not Sell," but never published over concerns journalists of the time had over drawing attention to racial discord. The Birmingham News has published the photos on its Web site in a report called "Unseen. Unforgotten." See the full article for more details.
