The Face of Evil
A SERIES OF IMAGES REFLECTING VARIOUS NOTIONS OF EVIL
In June of 1964, a members of the White Knights of the KKK descended on the Mount Zion Baptist Church near Philadelphia, Mississippi.  They assaulted members of the all-black church before burning it to the ground.  (Days later, three civil rights workers investigating the church-burning would be murdered as a result of  a conspiracy between the Klan and local law enforcement officials.) This image of a black parishioner standing amidst the ruins of his church suggests something not evident in the first images of evil: the great sense of loss felt by the victims of evil.
