Flip Schulke (born Graeme Phelps Schulke, June 24, 1930-May 15, 2008) was an American photographer. He taught briefly at the University of Miami, then began working as a freelance photographer. He worked for Life , and covered a variety of events, including the Cuban Revolution. Schulke began photographing the civil rights movement in the American south as early as 1956. Schulke formed a bond with civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. after an all-night conversation in 1958, and began photographing him. King invited Schulke to photograph secret planning meetings of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, though not all of the activists trusted him being there. He also photographed the 1963 March on Washington and the 1965 Selma to Montgomery March. They traveled together until King's death in 1968, which upset Schulke so much that he stopped covering the civil rights movement and began to work on more commercial projects. In all, he took around 11,000 photographs of King, including some of his funeral. Penelope McPhee is an author, journalist and philanthropic executive. She co-authored "Martin Luther King Jr., A Documentary: Montgomery to Memphis," which was recognized in 1980 as one of the "Best Books of the Decade" by the American Library Association. Her 1986 book, "King Remembered," received the New York State Martin Luther King Jr. Medal of Freedom. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Through an empathetic biography and comprehensive collection of photographs, the authors (Schulke, a photojournalist who covered the '60s civil rights struggles, and McPhee, a writer) pay a quiet, moving tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. and his passion for nonviolent social change. This volume chronicles his life, from birth in segregated Atlanta, to education in Boston, to assassination in 1968 in Memphis, where he was supporting striking garbage collectors. It also documents the events that significantly changed Southern society, Montgomery's bus boycott, Birmingham's Project "C,'' Selma's bloody race riots. The authors judiciously blend King's eloquent words, culled from speeches, with the recollections of his closest associates, such as Ralph Abernathy, Julian Bond, Andrew Young, and Jesse Jackson. The result is a readable, intimate portrait. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Flip Schulke (Photographer) and Debra Streuber Sch (illustrator). …
