Trolley – New Orleans,  a fleeting moment that conveys the brutal social order of postwar America. The picture, shot a few weeks before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Ala., was unplanned. Frank was shooting a street parade when he saw the trolley passing. Spinning around, Frank raised his camera and shot just before the trolley disappeared from view. The picture was used on the cover of early editions of The Americans, fueling criticism that the work was anti-American.

Soon after the protests began, images started circulating online to document what was happening across the country, and I was immediately struck by how familiar they felt. Photographs of protests during the American civil rights movement in the 1960s, and more recently during the Black Lives Matter movement, illuminate a long history of Black people’s fight against racism.

Parks was asked to cover the Black Muslim movement, including leaders like Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad, after several white colleagues were turned away in their quest to gain access.

The image of Vaughs is not quite as deadly as the video of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd’s neck until Floyd descended into unconsciousness, nor the recently surfaced footage of Aurora police subduing Elijah McClain as he desperately sought to prove that he was not a threat. However, Lyon’s photo reminds me that Black people in the United States are always living on the brink.
