FOR CHANGE:
BOB FITCH
PHOTO ARCHIVE
Civil rights activist Bob Fitch

went to the South to document
the Civil Rights Movement with
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. from
1965 to 1968. The result was a
seminal body of photographs that
captured some of the most moving
and important events of the time.
Over the next 50 years, Fitch went
on to document the work of Csar
Chvez and the United Farm Workers, Dorothy Day and the Catholic
Worker Movement, the Vietnam
War draft-resistance movement
and other social-justice issues.
Fitch has donated his nearly
275,000 images to Stanford Libraries, and this exhibition shows
his iconic mid-1960s through the
mid-1970s work, including from
Kings funeral.
