Darkroom Print: Washington D.C., 1957

In May 1957, upwards of 22,000 people gathered to mark the third anniversary of the landmark legal case, Brown v. Board of Education. Martin Luther King Jr gave a speech, which came to be known as Give Us the Ballot. Bob Henriques and Henri Cartier-Bresson were both covering the event, and here, Henriques captures an intimate moment as Cartier-Bresson pauses, camera in hand, just in front of Martin Luther King Jr himself, with the Washington Monument looming in the background.
