Black (a member of the Magnum Photo agency) crisscrossed the United States on a five-year, 100,000-mile road trip, visiting impoverished communities in 46 states and Puerto Rico, creating striking, high-contrast, black-and-white photos that document deprivation across this wealthy and powerful nation.
