Ernest Withers was a photographer based in Memphis, TN. He photographed everything that happened in town from baptisms to weddings to funerals. When the Civil Rights Movement began, he photographed that as a part of life in town, including the day MLK was shot.
He was also an informant for the FBI for many many years.
This is a complicated story, because the whole situation is complicated.
You have 24 hours to watch it on PBS’ app as part of their “Independent Lens” programme.
EDIT: if you would like more information on the presentation, head to https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/documentaries/the-picture-taker/
Very much recommended.
