African-Americans vote for the first time
From 1963 to 1965, Freed captured the plight of African Americans; the great struggle for racial equality within a deeply segregated, racist society
'The black man remains a prisoner' Leonard Freed's iconic civil rights photos - in pictures The Brooklyn photographer’s striking black and white images showed an America divided.

Leonard Freed 1929-2006
prominent photojournalist and member of the Magnum Photography Collective who was known primarily for his in-depth coverage of African-Americans in the era of the civil rights movement
(...)
Mr. Freed joined Magnum in 1972 and distinguished himself with classic photo essays on assignments for Life, Look, Paris-Match, Die Zeit, Der Spiegel, Stern, The Sunday Times Magazine of London, Libération and Fortune.
While his coverage of African-Americans first made his reputation, his photo-reportage on the Arab-Israeli wars of 1967 and 1973, and his behind-the-scenes coverage of the New York City police department in the late 1970s were typical of the penetrating, cleareyed photo essays of Magnum photographers.
In 1968, he published “Black in White America,” a book about African-Americans from Harlem through the South.
His 1980 book “Police Work” used words and images to document the New York police. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/04/arts/design/04freed.html
