| Description | Photographs show the poor and ethnically diverse communities of Buffalo's Lower West Side, representing the first of four visits Rogovin made to this area over a thirty-year period (from 1972-2002). Images include portraits of African American, Italian American, Native American, Puerto Rican, and White families at home, often with pictures, religious items, pets, and other personal possessions. Rogovin also photographed people away from home: inside retail shops and restaurants, outside shops, socializing outdoors. Many street views include storefronts, shop windows, markets, and residences. Neighborhood activities are reflected in photographs of festivals, religious services, and weddings. Close-ups of posted flyers, signs, and graffiti, are scattered throughout, several document the community's response to the Attica Prison riots of September 1971. |
