In the 1960s, photographer Dan Budnik (May 20, 1933-August 14, 2020) was noted for his portraits of New York musicians and documenting the civil rights movement. In 1957, he was admitted into the prestigious Magnum Photos category and, the following year, photographed massacres in Cuba. His Cuba pictures have been featured in several magazines such as Life, Sports Illustrated and Vogue. The 1963 March on Washington, he photographed (including striking portraits of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. just moments after giving his “I Have a Dream” speech).
