In the days following the 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, photographer Paul Fusco, on assignment for Look Magazine, photographed the hundreds of thousands of mourners. From aboard the funeral train transporting Kennedy’s coffin from New York to D.C. Fusco captured with his camera the crowds of people waiting by the side of the railroad tracks to pay their last respects.

A monograph of this powerful and classic body of work was published by Aperture in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Robert F. Kennedy’s death, and an exhibition organized by Magnum Photos is now on view at the Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach, Florida through May 2nd.
