Original caption states: "Brooklyn's Bushwick Avenue seen from an elevated train platform in New York CIty. The inner city today is an absolute contradiction to the main stream America of gas stations expressways, shopping centers and tract homes. It is populated by blacks, latins and the white poor. Brooklyn remains one of America's best surviving examples of a 19th century city."
This photograph was taken as part of the Documerica project – a social and environmental photography project sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency during the 1970s.
