Contributions by Howard Ball, Peter Edelman, Aram Goudsouzian,
Robert E. Luckett Jr., Ellen B. Meacham, Stanley Nelson, and
Charles L. Overby A Past That Won't Rest: Images of the Civil
Rights Movement in Mississippi collects never-before-published
photographs taken by Jim Lucas (1944-1980), an exceptional
documentary photographer. His black-and-white images, taken during
1964 through 1968, depict events from the civil rights movement
including the search for the missing civil rights workers in
Neshoba County, the Meredith March Against Fear, Senator Robert F.
Kennedy's visit to the Mississippi Delta, and more. The photographs
exemplify Lucas's technical skill and reveal the essential truth in
his subjects and the circumstances surrounding them. Lucas had a
gift for telling a visual story, an instinctive eye for framing his
shots, and a keen human sensibility as a photojournalist. A college
student in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1964, he was on his way to
becoming a professional photojournalist when Freedom Summer
exploded. Lucas found himself in the middle of events that would
command the attention of the whole world. He cultivated his
contacts and honed his craft behind the camera as a stringer for
Time and Life magazines as well as the Associated Press. Lucas
tragically lost his life in a car accident in 1980, but his
photographs have survived and preserve a powerful visual legacy for
Mississippi. Over one hundred gorgeously sharp photographs are
paired with definitive essays by scholars of the events depicted,
thereby adding insight and historical context to the book. Charles
L. Overby, a fellow Jacksonian and young journalist at the time,
provides a foreword about growing up in that tumultuous era.
