These often disturbing images are not published for their purient value. Rather, they serve to remind us of another time in America, an America that is captured not only by the photographs, but by the text written by the four authors/contributors. "These images make the past present. They refute the notion that photographs of charged historical subjects lose their power, softening and becoming increasingly aesthetic with time. These images are not going softly into any artistic realm. Instead they send shock waves through the brain, implicating ever larger chunks of American society and in many ways reaching up to the present. They give one a deeper and far sadder understanding of what it has meant to be white and to be black in America. And what it still means." (Quoted material from the New York Times, January 13,2000)
