Moore's photos undeniably were as influential to the passage of Civil Rights legislation as any march or speech and no doubt altered the course of our nation's history.... Powerful Days is powerful indeed; essential for all libraries. - Library Journal; Here are all the gripping photographs of the Freedom March of 1963, of the Birmingham boycott, of James Meredith attempting to enroll at the University of Mississippi, of Martin Luther King Jr. of black children being hosed and beaten by white policemen.... They are simply amazing photographs, photographs that graphically demonstrate both the villainy and heroism of an era. - Kliatt; Mr. Moore's stark, crisp photos of freedom marchers beset by police dogs and fire hoses... helped to shape the nation's conscience.... [This book] contains many images that will be wrenchingly familiar to those who lived through the proud moral turning point in American history, and that might serve to inspire younger generations. - New York Times Book Review; Every once in a while we receive a well-documented treasure of American history. This collection is such a treasure.... [Moore's] black-and-white photos of that era are classics of photojournalism, and as Powerful Days documents, those classics have lost none of their force and energy. - Southern Living
