Chester Higgins is a brilliant photographer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
It was like watching history -- love, struggle, joy, sorrow, work, pain, and hope captured in a single photo that magically told the individual's life journey -- the backdraft being America during and after legal segregation. Chester Higgins is a brilliant photographer and captured the life story and essence of each individual. Over the years, I have bought three copies and gave them away as gifts. The images are worth sharing and I hope my new copy comes soon.
A treasure

Chester Higgins captures the beauty, strength and courage of the African-American elders he photographs. I am awestruck by the depth he achieves in these portraits. This collection of photos along with tips from the subjects on how to get along in life is truly an inspiring book for anyone interested in viewing a piece of history.
Elder Grace
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I had been waiting since May for the release of this book! It is an honor and a privilege to see our elders dipicted with such natural grace & beauty. Chester Higgins is a absolutely centered photographer! He sees with such clarity. He captured everyone's beauty, emotion, prowess & coutenance. I walk around with the book to show it to everyone I encounter, especially the elders & the children. Everyones' first expression is Ahh! The elders start to reminisce, the rest of us can see how we will grow old 'gracefully'!
