Guests: Rowland Scherman and Edith Lee Payne
The Newseum presents a special screening of the new documentary "Eye on the Sixties: The Iconic Photography of Rowland Scherman."
The film is an intimate portrait of Scherman and documents his work during the 1960s, one of the country’s most transformational eras.
Among his many assignments, Scherman was the primary photographer of the 1963 March on Washington, which he shot for the United States Information Agency. The Newseum screening takes place just three days before the 50th anniversary of the march.
One of Scherman’s most iconic photographs from the march is of 11-year-old Edith Lee Payne. Payne will be part of a panel discussion following the film to talk about her memories of the photograph and that historic day. Also appearing on the panel is the film’s producer, Chris Szwedo.
Scherman was Life magazine’s special assignment photographer, a personal photographer of President Lyndon Johnson’s 1964 presidential campaign, and Life’s special photographer for Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential campaign in 1968.
The event was introduced by John Maynard, from the Newseum.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
