Biographical Note

Edwin Hugo Friend, Sr. was born on October 1, 1912 in Fincastle, Virginia. He graduated from Tech High School in Atlanta, Georgia, and later attended Georgia State College. In the early 1940s, Friend served with the Army Air Corps 342nd Bomber Squadron. While in service, he discovered his photographic skills and applied them toward the war effort. Upon his return to the states, Friend worked for the Georgia State Game and Fish Commission as a conservation officer. During his travels in this position, he developed a fascination for wildlife photography. Friend also became very involved in Georgia politics. During the administrations of Governors Marvin Griffin, Herman Talmadge, Ernest Vandiver and Carl Sanders, he served as their official photographer. As a result of an automobile accident in 1962, he retired from his state job. Later in retirement, he traveled extensively and proudly proclaimed that he had visited every country in the world. He died on September 6, 1991.

Highlander Segregation (2 copies): While working for the Georgia Education Committee, Friend filmed Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Ralph Abernathy, Pete Seeger and others at a two day seminar held at the Highland Folk School in Monteagle, Tennessee in 1957.

The print version of the film includes still shots of the meeting at Monteagle. A written account of this event can be found in Howell Raines, My Soul is Rested: Movement Days in the Deep South Remembered.
Georgia Wildlife: While working for the Georgia State Game and Fish Commission, Friend filmed and produced this documentary. This shows nature and wildlife throughout Georgia, beginning in the North Georgia Mountains and ending in the Okefenokee Swamp.
