Civil Rights Movement photo

USA. New York City. 1980. Subway. Bruce Davidson. https://pro.magnumphotos.com/C.aspx?VP3=CMS3&VF=MAGO31_4&VBID=24PVHKKA2L9HD&IID=2K1HRGPD1IXK&PN=2

I think this is a really sad but beautiful photo. From the scaring of the man’s face, the viewer can infer that this man was a victim of racial discrimination during the Civil Rights Movement. The contrast of the man’s skin tone and the wall is very appealing to the eye. Also, the graffiti on the wall creates a lot of texture in the photo.
