For two years Bruce Davidson photographed one block in East Harlem. He went back day after day, standing on sidewalks, knocking on doors, asking permission to photograph a face, a child, a room, a family. Through his skill, his extraordinary vision, and his deep respect for his subjects, Mr. Davidson's portrait of the people of East 100th Street is a powerful statement of the dignity and humanity that is in all men.
