The Trouble Between Us: An Uneasy History of White and Black Women in the Feminist movement
Photograph
Dorie Ladner and Casey Hayden, SNCC activists, Mississippi 1963
Notes
Danny Lyon, known for his photographs of the Chicago Outlaws biker gang, chain-gang inmates from a Texas prison, and the destruction of Lower Manhattan, was first published as the photographer for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Comittee (SNCC) during the Civil Rights struggle in the mid 1960s.
On a prersonal note, I once asked Lyon, who is known for his acerbic wit, if he was surprised that SNCC would have a white, Jewish photographer working for them. He glared at me and said, “Why not? It wasn’t like I was a member of the KKK!”
