Me to my supervisor: “The online Project Documerica archive at @usnatarchives should have lots of photos of environmental conditions in New York City just a little after 1969 that we could use in an Earth Day pop-up at Stonewall NM!” Me, 30 minutes later: “…yeah, New York really was pretty gross in the 70s.”
Photographs of ‘El Segundo Barrio’ of El Paso in 1972 by Danny Lyon.
Documerica was a program sponsored by the United States Environmental Protection Agency to “photographically document subjects of environmental concern” in the United States from about 1972 to 1977. These particular photos shot in Kodachrome by Danny Lyon are all of El Paso and in particular the Second Ward which was described as a classic ‘Barrio’ on the Mexican border.
