Robert W. Kelley 1920-1991
Robert W. Kelley (...) took photographs for Life magazine when the publication and its stable of talented photographers each week defined what was important in the world.
(...)
In 1947, he began working for Life and was made a staff photographer in 1952.
He worked there until 1966.
He spent most of the 1950s posted at the magazine's Atlanta bureau, and was frequently assigned to the civil-rights stories of the day.
His leg was broken in 1956 in Clinton, Tenn., while he was trying to escape segregationists who did not want to be memorialized in the nation's pre-eminent magazine, said his son.
