Time Out says

See more than 150 powerful photographs shot by nine photographers in this civil rights movement exhibition at the Skirball. A mix of photos of daily life, protests and key figures like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the black-and-white photos on display here put the focus on both the people in front of the camera and the activists beind the lens.

“This Light of Ours: Activist Photographers of the Civil Rights Movement” is part of a trio of exhibitions at the museum this fall, including “The American Library,” a colorful collection of six thousand textile-wrapped books with the names of immigrants on their spines from artist Yinka Shonibare, and “RECLAIMED: A Family Painting,” a portrait of multiple generations of the Bloch as told through the Nazi seizure and eventual recovery of a painting that hung in their living room in Czechoslovakia.
