Cecil Williams is one of the few Southern Black photojournalists of the civil rights movement. Born and raised in Orangeburg, South Carolina, Williams worked at the center of emerging twentieth-century civil rights activism in the state, and his assignments often exposed him to violence perpetrated by white law officials and ordinary citizens. Williams and award-winning journalist Claudia Smith Brinson combined forces to write Injustice in Focus: The Civil Rights Photography of Cecil Williams. Together, they documented civil rights activism in the 1940s through the 1960s in South Carolina. (ages 18+)
