Peace Corps Photographer Rowland Scherman Remembers the March on Washington
I have written before about the Peace Corps’ first photographer, Rowland Scherman. I got to know Rowland in Ethiopia in the winter of 1962-63 when journalist Jim Walls and Scherman toured many of the Peace Corps countries writing about and taking photos of new PCVs.
After his Peace Corps years, Rowland went out on his own as a free-lance photographer and became famous in other arenas. Here is one story of a famous photo he took on a sunny day in 1963.
Such wonderful memories, and the true meaning of photography.
