LEONARD FREED: POLICE WORK
-
Foreword by Studs Terkel
Edited by Michael Shulman
-
The definitive collection of Leonard Freed’s acclaimed photographs of the New York police department during the turbulent 1970s.
-
Magnum photographer Leonard Freed worked alongside the New York police for several years, documenting the gritty reality of life on the beat at a notorious time of soaring crime and great social unrest, with the city near bankruptcy. Of his near-decade with the police department, Freed observed that “What I saw were average people doing a sometimes boring, sometimes corrupting, sometimes dangerous and ugly and unhealthy job.” His nuanced essay has a poignancy and grace, capturing the camaraderie of officers alongside the people they are hired to protect.
Freed accompanied the NYPD on murder investigations, drug raids, public demonstrations and community outreach initiatives, as well as documenting the ordinary daily grind of the job. This re-edited and redesigned take on Freed’s original 1980 book features several unseen photographs from the archive and new scans from the original negatives. It is a celebration of this complex and compassionate body of work, which has a social resonance and relevance in today’s climate.

Magnum photographer Leonard Freed’s powerful visual testimony of the event that culminated in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s prophetic I Have a Dream speech, delivered at the base of the Lincoln Memorial.
Freed’s images reveal the powerful impact of the march, which took place in the midst of the civil rights movement when racial inequities were being most painfully exposed to the nation and the world. From the hours before the march to the evening when the remaining marchers linked hands for a final rendition of ‘We Shall Overcome,’ and the aftermath as the crowds dispersed and the visual remains of this history-making event were reduced to placard scraps blanketing the ground.
Freed’s seminal civil rights photo essay, Black in White America, was first published in 1968. This newly expanded and redesigned edition includes unseen photographs, as well as Freed’s most iconic images and is the definitive collection of his photographs from the time. The images have never been printed in such quality before, the clarity of print serving to bring home the singular power of Freed’s talent as a documentarian.
This extraordinary work includes pivotal moments in the civil rights movement, such as the March on Washington and the Selma to Montgomery marches. It is also a nuanced journey into the ordinary lives of a marginalized Black community living within a deeply divided nation. Freed was celebrated for his singular talent as a socially conscious photojournalist, and this essay conveys with power and dignity the exhausting, endless struggle of being Black in White America.

@reelartpress
Le photographe de Magnum Leonard Freed a travaillé aux côtés de la police de New York pendant toute la décennie 1970, documentant la dure réalité de la vie à l'heure de la flambée du crime et des grands mouvements sociaux, alors que la ville est au bord de la faillite. Au cours de ces dix années, Freed dit avoir observé "des gens ordinaires faisant un travail parfois ennuyeux, parfois corrompu, parfois dangereux, laid et malsain". Cette série culte, indisponible depuis plusieurs années, empreinte à la fois d'une grande intensité et d'une certaine grâce, saisit la camaraderie des officiers aux côtés des personnes qu'ils sont tenus de protéger.

“This new edition of Leonard Freed’s 1980 book is the definitive collection of his photographs documenting the New York Police Department in the 1970s. Freed captured the complexity of life “on the beat”, from local youngsters trying their hand at scooter patrol (left) to grisly shots of crime scenes and drug raids. “I wanted to get involved in their lives,” Freed said, “to see why some people could call them ‘pigs’. What do people know about brutality?”

¿Qué tiempo para amar?
Parejas cansadas, sin tiempo para el encuentro.
¿Cuál es la posibilidad de sintonizar en una realidad así?
¿Adhieres a este ritmo?
Porque después de una jornada laboral,
hijos con los que compartir y educar.
Un hogar del que cuidar.
La pareja se queda sin aire.
Aire para amar,
para jugar,
para construir castillos y luego desarmarlos,
para llorar y reír juntos…
Y tú?
¿Cómo cuidas tu tiempo para amar?
Te leo!
——
What time to love?
Tired couples, without time for meeting
What's the possibility of tuning in a reality like that?
Do you adhere to this rhythm?
Because after work hours, children with whom to share and educate,
A home to take care of.
The couple finishes without air
Air to love,
to play,
to build castles and then dismantle them,
to cry and laugh together...
And you?
How do you take care of your time to love?
I read you!
