HOUSING: Harlem, Lower East Side, Mid 1970's

Photographs for a foundation- sponsored, privately published monograph (for limited distribution) titled "How the other half still lives," based on a Bob Adelman idea to depict the current plight of the poorly housed, sometimes in the same New York neighborhoods that Jacob Riis did his pioneering study. The publication was used as part of a petition to try to persuade incoming President Jimmy Carter to make a commitment to improving public housing for the poor. (see also the collection "How The Other Half Still Lives")
