This image above is a photo he took during the civil rights movement. In the 60's during this era riots and strikes were the norm as the people constantly battled for equality and better living conditions and the 60's was of course the era of the hippies in which world peace became so important to achieve because of all the war that was happening at the time the biggest being: Vietnam war.
In this image we see a women being taken away by police (given away by one of the badges shown not the identity) however they are holding onto her they look linked together and united however separated in beliefs perhaps.
