This photograph was printed in 2020 for Magnum Square Prints, as part of a benefit sale--half the proceeds went to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
This photo was taken in 1963. The Artist states: "The SNCC held a Freedom Court that day out in a field. Greenwood was a major cotton town, and the audience was field hands and household servants mostly. I was the SNCC staff photographer. The kids then in Greenwood would say "I'm in the movement," because Greenwood was the center of the civil rights movement in the Delta. That day, for a Freedom Concert, SNCC had brought down the Freedom Singers, Theo Bikel, Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan to perform.
