Such magnificent aspirations in the Bill of Rights. And such harsh reality. Where else but in America?

Man, I love this essay. Superb. The images speak volumes on number of issues. And I really like the edit and the simplicity of the slideshow, especially the fact that images don't flicker too fast, like in some of the other recent Magnum in Motion essays. This can be only topped by last year's Guantanamo piece, which is probably my all time favorite multimedia essay.

Digital b&w is never going to evoke the same look and feel of b&w film. These photos would have been far better in their original color versions than the flat photoshop b&w.
