Fifteen acres of land were occupied during the Poor People’s Campaign in Washington, D.C. in 1968. Built upon that land were more than 500 tents which took two weeks to build.
A woman sat between tents to give photographer Robert Houston a shy smile as the day went on.
The humanity of everyday people shines through in the exhibition “Solidarity Now!” at the museum through July 31.
