Description: From his Memphis studio, Ernest Withers’ nearly two million images were a treasured record of Black history, but his legacy was complicated by decades of secret FBI service revealed only after his death. Was he a friend of the civil rights community, or enemy—or both? Withers' choices and the records he left behind provide an invaluable map of the roads this country has traveled, and how far it has yet to go
