Soledad O'Brien's 'Pictures Don't Lie' Looks At Civil Rights Photographer Ernest Withers' FBI Ties: "For O’Brien, the picture that stands out is one that shows a pair of black attorneys and a pair of white police officers standing side by side in a courtroom, waiting for the judge’s ruling.
'What I love about that photograph is, where did he have to be to get that picture?' O’Brien said. 'He was behind the judges’ head. I love that photo. It’s brilliant, and it underscores the access of this individual. If you were in a position where the judge is cool with you going behind him to take a picture, you are one of the most inside people in all of Memphis, Tennessee—which explains why the FBI looked to him.'"
