“On June 18, 1968, Paul Fusco, then a photographer for Look Magazine, was a passenger aboard the train carrying Robert F. Kennedy’s coffin between New York City and Washington.”
One of the most stunning pictorial histories I’ve seen.

what america looked like 40 years ago.
Such great photos in there!
Oh! So amazing.
that sure makes a statement.
speechless.
Just got back from being away from my computer for two weeks. Trying to catch up on all my favorite blogs and couldn’t wait for yours!!!
Love this, I can only imagine the emotions being felt that day!
Wow ! thanks Erin, an amazing slide show from an amazing time. Susan
I so agree with everyone here. Such an emotional piece.
This is amazing. Thank you for the link.
i saw a spread in the NYT of these photos…. what i really noticed [besides the emotion] was how much BETTER people dressed then
These photos are amazing, lovely. Thanks for posting!
that socked me in the gut.
thank you, i kinda needed that.
OMG, Erin…I’ve been trying to go see this show since it opened. It’s been torture because the gallery closes at 6 and none of my friends can ever get out of work on time. I might just go myself…I’m glad you reminded. I just can’t get enough of these stunning photos!
Yes – the first time I saw this I got chills. There is one of a woman alone in a field waiting for RFK that gave me goosebumps.
It is sad that we don’t have leaders today that would have this outpouring of love and respect.
And I agree with Lisa S – people were much better dressed and did not have credit card debt – go figure?
i felt like i was there when i saw these photos. what a moment in history he captured.
Wow – that is quite haunting. Interesting post.
LISA— YOU ARE SO RIGHT! :)
