We remember photographer Charles Moore, who made his name taking iconic Civil Rights photographs down south during the 1960's. He died at the age of 79, Thursday. Hank Klibanoff, who is the author of the book, "The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of a Nation," helps us remember the life and work of this great photojournalist.

Once again, disappointed on the Take Away's quick and easy way out coverage of a subject by getting an author that wrote about Civil Rights.
How about the reporters from LIFE magazine that were by Charles Moore's side recording history -- when reporting was an honor? That's the Charles Moore coverage that he would have loved.
