For the late photographer Richard Avedon, people of color were part of the life and cultural landscape in New York City. He had to fight with Harper's Bazaar to use the Black model Donyale Luna (above, wearing Paco Rabanne) in 1966. Click on the title "Avedon" above to see a video which provides some insight into his genius for reflecting the times between 1944 and 2000.
