Little known, Street Time is a photographic report on the city of New Haven in Connecticut, and the neighborhood of The Hill, its ghetto : “It’s a portrait, not a documentary. Richard Balzer’s photographs capture the abundance of the life on the streets of the Hill, the tensions and violence, the neighborliness and vitality. Fred Harris’s text tells the story of the Hill Parents Association, a vanguard black group he helped to begin and to run in the late sixties. Together pictures ands text tell a story of humanity, strength and defeat“.
