Wow, these are really great shots. That second one is amazing. Your dad had a wonderful eye.

(Sorry for posting right on top. I started posting and had to get lunch and then finished posting. I didn't recheck the blog first.)

Very powerful and moving. And, as ahab said, your dad had a great eye for photography.

I just wanted to add how powerful I find this kind of documentary photography. The sixties were long ago, and the sixties were recent. But photos like these make the sixties (and history) real.
