Bob Fitch

From Watsonville, California, the activist photographer Bob Fitch was best known for his work that captured iconic images of major figures of movements for civil rights, peace and social justice, such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Cesar Chavez.

Bob Fitch has written: “My life has been immeasurably enriched by the people whose lives I have been privileged to document, especially the workers and leaders of this nation’s non-violent campaigns for peace & justice. I am grateful and honored that Stanford University has chosen to preserve and make public this valuable heritage.”
