Description
Lee Friedlander's Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom is a rare and significant collection of photographs taken in 1957. The event, which brought together prominent figures from the civil rights movement, was a pivotal moment in American history. Friedlander's access to the participants allowed him to capture intimate portraits of individuals such as Mahalia Jackson and A. Philip Randolph, alongside the audience of over 25,000 people who gathered to support the cause. The photographs are reproduced here as duotones, providing a unique glimpse into this important moment in American history. The book also includes additional ephemera from the march, including a facsimile typescript of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Give Us the Ballot speech and printed program.
