Steve Simon: The Republicans
Publisher's Description
Steve Simon was one of 15,000 accredited members of the press covering
the Republican National Convention in which 5,000 delegates, protected
by 10,000 New York City police officers, re-nominated George Bush as
President. As the week-long media extravaganza and coronation got underway,
it met the largest demonstrations ever to greet an American political
convention. More than 400,000 protesters marched past a heavily fortified
Madison Square Garden, exercising their right to free speech. Simon’s work,
which Harper’s magazine’s Stacy Clarkson has described as “photographs
of the event that stand apart from all others—stunning, unique, intelligent
and thought-provoking images which help us to consider the very health of
our democracy,” illuminates a pivotal time in the history of the “Divided States
of America,” the land of the free, where passionately diverging points of view
meet unprecedented new levels of security.
