With the advent of the camera, it has been much harder to "cover up" facts on the ground. Rarely does the camera lie - and it is an almost perfect "recorder" of events in a truly visual, immediate and true setting.
Abbey Zimet, on CommonDreams, pays tribute to Charles Moore, who in the south of America, documented the state of play in relation to the divisions between whites and blacks:
" Moore, a Southern gentleman who passionately documented - and some say spurred on - the civil rights movement has died at 79. His photographs were collected in "Powerful Days: The Civil Rights Photography of Charles Moore."
Over at The Independent they too pay tribute to Moore in "Charles Moore: Making history through the lens".
From Bill Eppridge, a Life magazine colleague of Moore's:
So sad.
Many of us knew him very well.
A true Southern Gentleman.
A fine Journalist.
Thoughtful, incisive, compassionate,
An Artist."
