Between the 1960s and 1980s, Builder Levy worked as an inner-city school teacher in New York City, even as he used his camera to document how the turbulence of the era affected the region. This monograph gathers Levy's images of spectacular events and daily life alike, including Civil Rights and anti-Vietnam War protests in the 1960s, the peace march held in response to the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Martin Luther King after his 1968 speech at Carnegie Hall.
