Faith and Justice in the 1960s: Vernita Weller for Vernon Carter

During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, the Religious News Service (RNS) documented moments of joy and cooperation, as well as violence and struggle, as grassroots and interdenominational groups battled racial discrimination. As part of the Presbyterian Historical Society Exhibit Faith and Justice in the 1960s: Religious News Service Covers Civil Rights, we spoke to the subjects of some of these photos or their immediate relatives about the moments captured, their religious motivations, and the press’s role in the civil rights movement.
