Gene Herrick, a retired Associated Press photographer who covered the Korean War and is known for his iconic images of Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and the trial of the killers of Emmett Till in the early years of the Civil Rights Movement, died Friday. He was 97. In 1956, Herrick photographed Rosa Parks being fingerprinted after refusing to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.
“God and the AP have given me opportunities I could never have had,” Herrick said in the 2018 AP story. “I mean, I’m the luckiest kid in the world to have done what I’ve done.” AP Executive Editor Julie Pace said Sunday that Herrick 'captured history for the AP. We, and so many people around the world, benefited from his sharp eye and the power of his visual storytelling.” Herrick joined the AP at age 16 in Columbus, Ohio, as an office assistant.
