Recensioner i media

"This volume is a testament to the power of images to shape collective consciousness and channel collective action."(Multicultural Review) "Road to Freedom demonstrates how photography has been effectively utilized to provoke change by making visible the harsh reality of the Jim Crow segregationists law, revealing how visual information can affect society. This group of photographs confronted people: it made some think and others connect with the call for equality, showing that informed viewers can transform the world."(Afterimage)
