Did You Know?

Davidson was arrested twice after joining the Freedom Riders in the South as a photographer for the New York Times.

Description

Davidson experienced and documented the Civil Rights protests in the American South from 1961-1965. His photographs of the movement reveal the multi-faceted nature of the fight for change. He documented protests, speeches, marches, all the while pursuing his habitual interest in the everyday lives of these African Americans fighting for equal rights.
A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts five women with medium-dark skin tones in a wooded clearing. On the left, four women stand; one wearing glasses reads an open book while the others wear patterned dresses behind a fallen log. On the right, an older woman wearing a dark coat and hat sits in a wooden chair, holding a cane. Densely clustered trees fill the background.
