About the Book
In these photographs and writings, a young white photographer volunteers to teach photography in the Oakland (California) ghetto and becomes acquainted with black children and their exploration of their surroundings. The time is the 1960s, and the very streets of the rising Black Panthers, yet the photographs capture not politics directly, but the urban images that shape these children as they grow.
