Charles Moore’s Powerful Days, originally published in1991, is an important book, and the University of Alabama Press has done us all a favor by reissuing it. Anyone curious about the civil rights movement, the American South, or postwar America in general will find the photographs on its pages full of essential facts about the struggle for civil rights during the 1950s and 1960s. Even after four decades, the images are compelling. They still possess the power to shock, despite the fact that we’ve seen many of them before. In addition to its visual appeal, Powerful Days will also interest those who care about the way photographs record, reflect, and sometimes help create the historical moments that set the course for how the past will be understood in the future.
