Description
This book offers a time capsule of images from a year when photojournalists took to the streets, sometimes risking their lives in an effort to document the changes around them. And there is no doubt that it was the Magnum photo agency, with its international roster of the best young photographers, that was on the front lines of everything that happened in that indelible year. They were there in May of 1968, when protesters shut down Paris, and brought France to a standstill; they were there show more at the assassinations of RFK and MLK; they were there when Chicago erupted from anti-Vietnam protest; they were there at the Tet offensive, and when hundreds of students were massacred in Mexico City. Whether capturing the salutes of Black Panthers, the trial of the Weathermen, or revolutions in Africa, the Magnum agency was there. show lessTags
