Having collected several thousand images, Jacobson began to reflect on their raw, informal immediacy alongside the recognition that they comprised an archive of a moment with unquestionable historical significance. This book presents more than 100 images alongside Jacobson's recollections of their moments of creation and his understanding of how they link past, present, and future. The images reveal diverse expressions of civic engagement that are emblematic of the aspirations, expectations, promises, and failures of this period in American history. 410 0$aDocumentary arts and culture. 410 0$aNorth Carolina scholarship online. 606 $aDocumentary photography$zUnited States 606 $aStreet photography$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$y21st century$vPictorial works 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 608 $aIllustrated works.$2lcgft 615 0$aDocumentary photography 615 0$aStreet photography 676 $a973.9320022/2 700 $aJacobson$b Matthew Frye$f1958-$01134963 712 02$aDuke University.$bCenter for Documentary Studies, 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793564603321 996 $aThe historian's eye$93731200 997 $aUNINA
