Civil Rights Battles, in black and white

There’s a wonderful gallery of images from the civil rights movement in America running on the New York Times Lens blog. Some of these images have never been seen, locked away in law archives but will be on show from March 28 to August 11 at the Bronx Museum of the Arts.

Its easy to forget the struggles and sacrifices that were made to force a more equal society. Blood was spilt. That blood must be honored.
