EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the essence of Solidarity Day in 1981, a momentous event that united people from all walks of life in their fight for justice and equality. The portrait showcases an elderly Puerto Rican man, whose weathered face tells a story of resilience and determination. Amidst the bustling streets of Washington, D. C. , this man stands tall, holding a sign advocating for the rights of migrant workers. His presence at the march symbolizes his unwavering support for those who toil tirelessly to make ends meet. With every step he takes, he carries with him the hopes and dreams of countless individuals striving for better working conditions. Photographed by Frank Espada on September 19th, 1981, this image encapsulates not only one man's struggle but also serves as a testament to collective action. It is a reminder that solidarity knows no boundaries - whether it be age or ethnicity - when fighting against injustice. The backdrop reveals other protesters marching alongside him; their voices merge into one unified call for change. This snapshot freezes time and immortalizes an important chapter in American history where citizens rallied together to demand fair treatment and respect for all workers. As we reflect upon this print today, let us remember the significance of Solidarity Day in shaping our society's values and inspiring future generations to stand up against inequality.
