Soledad O'Brien's 'Pictures Don't Lie' Looks At Civil Rights Photographer Ernest Withers' FBI Ties

Soledad O'Brien's 'Pictures Don't Lie' Looks At Civil Rights Photographer Ernest Withers' FBI Ties: [huffpo.com] "O'Brien talked to historians, FBI agents, activists, and members of Withers' family for the special. Their reactions varied widely. Some, like comedian and activist Dick Gregory, told O’Brien that Withers was like Judas for what he had done. For Gregory, collaborating with an agency that he felt was trying to destroy the movement was an act of severe betrayal. (The history of the FBI’s targeting of the civil rights movement, through its Counterintelligence Program, or COINTELPRO, and others, is well known.) Others, such as civil rights legend Andrew Young, were much less angered by Withers' actions."
