About the image

This portrait of Joan Baez standing on the steps of the Alabama State Capitol in 1965 originally appeared in the New York Times Magazine as a two-page spread. It was the first image Somerstein sold as a photojournalist.

Baez had joined Martin Luther King, Jr. on the march from Selma-to-Montgomery, Alabama, singing for the crowd as they camped the night before arriving at the state capitol.
