This book will change that. Early in his career  Karales began a photo-essay documenting Rendville  Ohio  an important stop on the Underground Railroad during the Civil War and one of the few racially integrated communities in America in the late 1950s. These pictures demonstrate his striking ability to capture the essential qualities of a community  are reminiscent of images made for the Farm Security Administration in the 1930s  and reflect Karales state of mind as he grappled with the racial issues that were to preoccupy him and America for many years to come. Karales worked for Look from 1960 until it ceased publication in 1971. Among many important assignments for the magazine  Karales documented Martin Luther King and the fifty-mile  five-day Selma (Alabama) march in 1965. Fifteen minutes before the end of the march  the sky darkened and Karales wide-angle shot of the protesters silhouetted against the horizon has since become an emblem of the march and has insured the photographers place in this tumultuous period of American history. In this new publication we discover that Karales stature as a photojournalist and social documentary photographer par excellence is based on much more than one iconic image.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67981967851573,"sku":"ByrdShop_3869304448","price":47.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783869304441.jpg?v=1794717855","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/james-karales-9783869304441","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
