The work of Alfred Stieglitz in the early twentieth century represented a quantum leap forward for both photography and social justice when his use of a monochromatic medium created polychromatic change for the savagely abused canaille of New York City and ultimately presaged the course of sweeping social programs that altered the lives of millions for the better.
