Ernest Withers was a photographer based in Memphis, TN. He photographed everything that happened in town from baptisms to weddings to funerals. When the Civil Rights Movement began, he photographed that as a part of life in town, including the day MLK was shot.

He was also an informant for the FBI for many many years.

This is a complicated story, because the whole situation is complicated.

You have 24 hours to watch it on PBS’ app as part of their “Independent Lens” programme.

EDIT: if you would like more information on the presentation, head to https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/documentaries/the-picture-taker/

Very much recommended.

I really loved those tapes.

Leonard Peltier is being interviewed on tonight's Cascade PBS News Hour.

Locally carried in Seattle area (from Tiger Mountain transmitter?) by KCTS on OTA channel 9-1

Watch: Bill Nye rants about highways in 1995 (full segment)

This is not the first time we’ve posted a Bill Nye video on this site, and I doubt it will be the last. The prolific entertainer and engineer best known for serving on the Seattle Bicycle Advisory Board also had a little-known KCTS science show for children that was widely syndicated and made him a mainstay on TVs throughout the nation.
