All The Time

I could never pinpoint what it was about Mr. Withers, but finally it has come to the light. The old saying goes " a picture is worth a thousand words". Mr. Withers as it turns out didn't say much because his camera was doing all the talking. The one credited with documenting the whole civil rights movement was a paid informant. The Commercial Appeal printed one of the longest articles I've ever seen tracing his activities for anyone interested. http://www.commercialappeal.com/withers-exposed/

In order for the plight of blacks to change from it's present state.We have to be prepared to let the chips fall where they may. We have to stop making excuses when it turns out to be someone we consider an icon. At least one person was willing to admit he was taken. Cabbage said he'd come to suspect Withers. "Anytime he'd see us, he'd start snapping (photographs). C'mon man. We weren't that interesting. Why would he take our pictures constantly?". Looks like the "Tennessee Waltz" wasn't the first example of community leaders being for sale. No wonder things haven't changed. They've been on the take all the time.
