Charles Moore Dies

Charles Moore, a photographer who chronicled the civil rights movement, has died. He was 79.

John Edgley of Edgley Cremation Services in West Palm Beach, Fla., confirmed that Moore died Thursday.

The Times Daily of Florence, Ala., reported that Moore began covering the movement as the lone photographer at the scene when the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested in Montgomery in 1958. In the years that followed, the Alabama native took some of the most enduring shots of the movement.

Rest In Peace, Charles.
