Original caption states: “Inner city residents of Brooklyn in New York City walk along Bushwick Avenue oblivious to the noise of the graffiti garbed elevated train. The inner city today is an absolute contradiction to the main stream America of gas stations, expressways, shopping centers and tract homes. It is populated by Blacks, Latins and the White poor.”
This photograph was taken as part of the Documerica project – a social and environmental photography project sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency during the 1970s.
