On May 17, 1957, Lee Friedlander was given full access to photograph the participants of the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom in Washington, DC. This extraordinary event brought together many of the great thinkers and leaders of the civil rights movement and solidified Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. s position as its preeminent leader. The 58 previously unpublished photographs reproduced as duotones in this important and beautifully produced commemorative record are among Friedlander s earliest work. With his full access to the presenters stage, Friedlander was able to portray the famous individuals at the event - Mahalia Jackson, A. Philip Randolph, Harry Belafonte, Ruby Dee among many others - as well as the audience of some 25,000 men, women and children who gathered to give voice and energy to the ideas embattled by the movement. Timed with the three-year anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, the Prayer Pilgrimage placed pressure on the Eisenhower administration to uphold desegregation in the South and made voting rights a focal point of the struggle for equality. Also included in this publication is a facsimile typescript from The King Center of MLK s Give Us the Ballot speech and additional ephemera from the march, including the printed program and the Call to Prayer distributed to participants. The complete (and only existing) set of the 58 prints, acquired by Yale University Art Gallery will be on exhibition at YUAG and other venues in 2017 in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Prayer Pilgrimage.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. The artist as a very young man By B. D. Colen This little book is an absolute must for anyone interested in either Friedlander, a leading 20th century street and art photographer, or in understanding the growth and development of avisual artist. Shot by Friedlander in 1957, when he was only 23 and had barely begun his photographic career, these black and white images of an historic Washington civil rights rally bare only the slightest resemblance to the photographer's later work. That said, these powerful, evocative images of unknown foot soldiers and ultimately beatified leaders of the civil rights struggle, demonstrate that even at an early stage in his artistic development Friedlander had the eye for detail, and compositional ability, that would make him one of the greats. In addition to being of great interest to those who care about photography, this book is a must have for anyone with an interest in the American civil rights movement.
