Last Sunday, the New York Times Magazine had a six page spread of photos taken by the photographer Paul Fusco on June 8, 1968, from the funeral train that was carrying Robert F. Kennedy's body from New York to Washington. The photos are hauntingly beautiful and full of emotion that left me with tears in my eyes. James Danziger, owner of the gallery Danziger Projects where the entire collection of photos will be on display briefly this month, writes in his blog:

The photographer Paul Fusco had been assigned the story by LOOK Magazine and on what turned out to be an unusually hot Saturday, close to a million people – black and white, rich and poor, young and old, singly and in groups - spontaneously came out to pay their respects to the man who had inspired so many Americans.

The blurriness of many of the photos makes them feel dream-like and fleeting, underscoring the poignancy of that moment in history when all of the hope and promise for a better future RFK brought to the American people was dissolved in a single moment of violence.
