Schapiro’s Heroes brings together an extraordinary
collection of stories in photo-journalistic tradition of
people who have shaped our lives, our politics, and our
tastes by the celebrated documentarian Steve Schapiro. In
behind-the-scenes photographs, we visit the young Muhammad
Ali and his Monopoly set, followed everywhere by the
neighborhood kids; glimpse the warm family life and campaign
of Robert Kennedy, who was so suddenly struck down; see Andy
Warhol in photographs never before published; watch Ray
Charles perform; visit the set with Samuel Beckett; and
march alongside Martin Luther King Jr. One of the most
respected American documentary photographers, Steve Schapiro
has a knack for being in the right place at the right time.
His heroes are the iconic men and women who have influenced
the political and cultural climate of our times. Schapiro’s
Heroes is a rare and intimate glimpse of a major period of
American history, photographed during the golden age of
photojournalism by one of the major talents of the late
twentieth century.
