Little Rock, Ark.

In case you are wondering, The Times did not run these pictures. They appeared in the Mirror.

    The video of this beating is famous, and it’s incredible that the Times wouldn’t report it. Amazing.
    –The Times reported the incident and ran a picture of L. Alex Wilson, but not this one, which was on Page 1 of the Mirror. The Times also noted that several other journalists were injured.
    These are powerful images.
