Photographs by David McReynolds
Text by Jay Cassano

This series of previously unpublished photographs was taken by David McReynolds from1956 - 1971. They portray the people at the center of vibrant and turbulent times in movements for social justice. In many cases, these photographs also highlight the ways in which the War Resisters League has ben ahead of the curve and pushing the limits of what issues the broader Left addresses.
