Paul Fusco photographs documented social issues , injustices such as poverty and ghetto life.  In 1968 Kennedy's body was taken to New York City for a memorial service at St. Patrick’s Cathedral . It was carried by a train from New York to Washington D.C. for burial at Arlington National Cemetery. Thousands of mourners lined the railway tracks to pay their respects to Kennedy. Paul Fusco from the inside the train took around 2000 pictures of the mourners black, white, rich, poor, in large groups. These photographs  captured a crucial moment in U.S. history. His images are one of the most powerful and affecting for me .
