Harlem, New York City. 1963.
In the 1960s Leonard Freed began a lengthy examination of the plight of African Americans in the United States. Freed traveled to New York, Washington, D.C. and all throughout the South, capturing images of a segregated and racially-entrenched society. The photos taken at that time were then published in 1968 in “Black in White America”.
Freed’s sensitive and informative black-and-white photographs investigate the politics of the country, and articulate the anxiety of under-represented and discriminated people.
