Photojournalism: “Freedom Words 1963” by John Kouns

“Freedom Words 1963”

by John Kouns


Introduction

Words have meaning . . . and consequences.  In the struggle for freedom and the right to vote, African Americans in Alabama marched to the State and National Capitol to demand the right to register to vote. In 1963 photographer John Kouns documented this struggle and the freedom words used to define it. – LeRoy Chatfield

NO ONE IS FREE UNLESS EVERYONE IS FREE

NO U.S. DOUGH TO HELP JIM CROW

ONE MAN / ONE VOTE
