1963 Large photograph of firemen using hoses and water to subdue Civil Rights protesters in Birmingham, Alabama. A powerful work of photography, this is a double weight masterpiece with incredible social overtones, this is completely original and identified on the back by William Hudson of the Associated Press. The very next day (March 4, 1963) Hudson would snap the famous picture of dogs being used against black protesters that has gone down as one of the most important of the entire Civil Rights Movement! An important work of photo journalism that is being offered here for the first time ever!
