This
volume presents the first visual history of the people and organizations that
led the fight for change during the civil rights era in Los Angeles.
During
a 1963 speech to a crowd of nearly forty thousand at Wrigley Field in Los
Angeles, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. addressed the question of how Angelenos
could contribute to the civil rights movement: "The most important thing that
you can do is to set Los Angeles free, because you have segregation and
discrimination here, and police brutality."
Marching West illuminates the dynamic history
of civil rights activism in Los Angeles and explores how the medium of
photography both witnessed and advanced the fight for Black equality. Over
one hundred images, some of which have never been previously published,
reveal connections between the local and national movements and document the
actions of Western coalitions, religious leaders, Hollywood stars, and
concerned citizens. Drawn from
the Tom & Ethel Bradley Center at California State University, Northridge
(CSUN), the Getty Research Institute, and other Southern California
collections-including prints by Harry Adams, Howard
Bingham, Charles Brittin, Joe Flowers, Vera Jackson, and
Charles Williams-this unprecedented volume presents less familiar but
essential stories about American progress toward social justice.
