Charles Moore was a photographer for LIFE magazine who chronicled much of the Civil Rights movement in the 1950's & 60's. He was the lone photographer at the scene when Rev Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama in 1958 during a protest march. The picture, along with many others, became enduring images of the time period.
Mr Moore died on March 11, 2010 at the age of 79 in West Palm Beach, Florida.
In 1991 a collection of his works and biography was published in the book: "Powerful Days: The Civil Rights Photography of Charles Moore".
