No justice, no peace : from The Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter / Devin Allen with images by Gordon Parks ; foreword by Jamel Shabazz.

Allen, Devin, (author,, photographer.). Parks, Gordon, (photographer.). Shabazz, Jamel, 1960- (writer of foreword.).

Summary:

"Award-winning photographer Devin Allen juxtaposes his remarkable photos of today's Black Lives Matter protests alongside his inspiration, Black activist Gordon Parks' photos of the Civil Rights Movement and writing from influential authors and poets to create a vision of the past and future of Black activism and leadership in America. Devin Allen has devoted much of the past five years to documenting the generationally-defining protests of the Black Lives Matter movement, from its early days in Ferguson up to the current moment. In NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE, Allen juxtaposes his powerful and incredibly moving photos of today's protests alongside photos of the Civil Rights movement that were documented by his inspiration, the renowned Gordon Parks, in order to present a stunningly comprehensive visual of Black activism and leadership in America over the past six decades. Together with these poignant, timeless portraits, Allen will also include essays and poems from today's most influential writers and activists--including Clint Smith, Jacqueline Woodson, D. Watkins, Deray McKesson, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, and Kondwani Fidel, among others--that respond to the words of their predecessors, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Frederick Douglass, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, and John Lewis. Side by side, these photos and essays show where the movements of yesterday and today meet and where they differ, how modern activists continue to build on and expand the ideas set forth by earlier leaders, and create a stern missive about the moral responsibility of Americans to break unjust laws and take direct action. At once deeply intimate and profoundly collective, NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE is a creative lens through which to reflect on both our history and the current moment, and a visual reminder of the tough, but necessary, road that lies ahead"-- Provided by publisher.
