A marcher protests segregation across the United States, the flag positioned upside-down to signal distress. "No, that's not disrespect, it means our nation is in distress. It was hard getting shots like these. I didn't have a motor-drive camera. I didn't have auto-focus. And when I cranked the lever for the next exposure it would always move the camera a little. No automatic exposure either. It was very difficult just to shoot the pix and on top of that I was marching backwards not knowing if some redneck was about to beat me up. I was attacked on 7 different occasions." March 21st, 1965
