- “AUTHOR NORMAN MAILER IS FLANKED BY TWO U.S. MARSHALS AFTER THEY ARRESTED HIM OUTSIDE THE PENTAGON ON OCT. 21, 1967. MAILER RECEIVED A PULITZER PRIZE FOR HIS BOOK THE ARMIES OF THE NIGHT, WHICH RECOUNTS THE PENTAGON MARCH.” by Ross Connelly

Taken in the late 1960s, the black-and-white photographs showcase historic moments of social upheaval and political unrest. The artist hopes these images encourage dialogue, noting: “Democracy depends on that.”
