Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington (August 28th 1963).

The New York Times Lens has an excellent series of Freed’s photographs from that day.

Ultimately photography is about who you are. It is the seeking of truth in relation to yourself. And seeking truth becomes a habit.

50 years ago tomorrow 250,000 marched on Washington. On that day, Leonard Freed captured faces in the crowds, movement through the streets, and of the beginning and ends to the historic event.  Tomorrow, we celebrate the anniversary of this day and reflect on the call for civic and economic rights for all.

While we gaze past the camera, we are lifted up on a soaring wave of sound—We shall overcome! We shall overcome someday— a marching song so strong that fifty years gone I can hear it still—                        calling to us all, calling like a bell.
