Friday, February 14 black lives matter





unseen photos birmingham 1963



In spring 1963, African American 
civil rights activists in Alabama 
started the Birmingham campaign, a 
series of sit-ins, boycotts and 
marches against segregation laws. 
The peaceful demonstrations were 
met with violence, teargas and 
police 
dogs. The events were a turning 
point in the civil rights movement, 
making front-page news around the 
world. The Observer dispatched 
photographer Colin Jones to cover 
the story and capture the activism 
around the 16th Street Baptist 
church. Many of these images, 
discovered in the Observer’s picture 
archive, have never before been 
published.
