Robert F. Kennedy Funeral Train — The People’s View

On 8 June 1968, a year shaken by division and violence across the United States, the coffin of assassinated senator and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) was carried on a funeral train from New York to Washington, D.C. Around one million people turned out to bid farewell to RFK in a spontaneous expression of grief. On board was photographer Paul Fusco, who took pictures of the bewildered mourners as they watched the train, which for the most part remained outside the camera's lens, pass slowly by.
