A celebration for the Legendary Danish photographer and Anti racist Jacob Holdt
Arriving in America in the seventies for a short visit, a young Dane, Jacob Holdt ended up staying over five years, hitchhiking more than 100,000 miles throughout the USA. . He lived in more than 400 homes - from the poorest migrant workers to America's wealthiest families such as the Rockefellers. After a while he started to take pictures.
Jacob Holdt joined the Indian rebellion in Wounded Knee, followed criminals in the ghettos during muggings, sneaked inside to work in Southern slave camps and infiltrated secret Ku Klux Klan meetings as well as Republican presidential campaign headquarters.
