Photograph of Glenn Weiser in a Crowd of Antiwar Demonstrators at the November 1969 Moratorium from Life magazine, 1970 (detail) |
The photo below was taken at the November 1969 Moratorium in Washington, D.C., the largest antiwar protest of the 1960s. I was among a tightly packed crowd of antiwar demonstrators who had fallen harmlessly into a heap when I saw a photographer kneeling with his camera. High on Orange Sunshine LSD, I grinned at him as he snapped the shot. It turned out he was Barton Silverman, a staffer for the New York Times, and his photo won an award from Life magazine in which it was published early in 1970. In the picture, I am the grinning white kid with glasses whose face is turned toward the camera and level with woman's scarf in the foreground. I scanned this faded and folded page 31 years later.-GW |
