Description
The War Is Here: Newark 1967 by Chris Campion is a powerful and poignant record of one of America's most pivotal moments. In July 1967, the city of Newark was transformed into an urban war zone, with widespread protests, looting, and violence erupting after the arrest and beating of a local cab driver. Photographer Bud Lee, then just 26 years old, captured the drama and devastation of these events through his lens for Life magazine. His photographs, including those of the brutal murder of Billy Furr, convey the sense of chaos and desperation that gripped the city. This book presents Lee's remarkable images, offering a unique and unflinching look at one of the most significant moments in American history. The War Is Here is a haunting and thought-provoking tribute to the people who lived through this tumultuous period, and a powerful reminder of the ongoing impact of social justice movements.
