Famed photographer Ernest Withers is remembered as a hero who helped advance the causes of the Civil Right’s Movement through his stunning images of key people and history-in-the-making events. He and his lens captured Dr. King strategizing with his lieutenants before key events, and he photographed the courtroom proceedings of those accused of murdering Emmett Till. CNN anchor and special correspondent Soledad O’Brien investigates documents that now suggest Withers may have also been an FBI informant – she also speaks to Withers’ family and those he allegedly spied upon for their reactions to the new information.
