On assignment for Life Magazine, Robert Houston arrived in Washington, DC to photograph the 1968 Poor People's Campaign. With his camera and artistic instinct, Houston captured a sample of America's poor living in a constructed tent city on the National Mall. The result was a collection of photographs that are compassionate in their insight and visual commentary.
