Overview
Doy Gorton’s White South was photographed in 1969-1970 at a time of great cultural upheaval. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy had been assassinated, the culture wars raged, racial segregation was outlawed, and the postwar generation stood bitterly divided. Gorton’s photographs from this period offer a stark study of Southern whites in the final days of legal White Supremacy—on the cusp of a new era, when everything was in flux.
Join author and Trustee W. Ralph Eubanks in conversation with Doy Gorton and Jane Adams to discuss their new release White South and its contemporary resonances.
