Chicago Youth Frolic in Hydrants (1968)

A charming press photo of Chicago youths playing in water from fire hydrants.

This print captures a quintessential pastime of this era, while being a record of a broader social struggle: taken the year of Dr. King's assassination, these youths have turned of the hydrants after their parents rejected a city-proposed pool for the area, deeming it "inadequate."

Print is on 8x10" paper and in excellent condition.
