Jamel Shabazz - On View, a Chronicle of Four Decades of Urban Life by Sewell Chan
In 1969, a 9-year-old boy living in the Red Hook Houses in Brooklyn picked up an autographed copy of Leonard Freed's "Black in White America," a book of black-and-white photographs, which his parents had placed on the coffee room table.
"I remember looking at this book, like, constantly, to the point where I tore it apart because I was looking at it every day," the photographer Jamel Shabazz recalled. "I was just compelled by these images."
