“'The blow was monumental. Hope-on-the-rise had again been shattered and those in most need of hope crowded the tracks of Bobby’s last train stunned into disbelief and watched that hope trapped in a coffin pass and disappear from their lives,' reads a quote from Paul Fusco on the final page of his critically acclaimed photobook RFK Funeral Train. In June 1968, Fusco captured the aftermath of the assassination of the Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy. Rediscovered and published 30 years later, this collection of 53 color photographs is a heartfelt documentation of a nation in mourning." (Publisher's website).
