"This book tells our story," photographer Ken Light wrote on his Kickstarter campaign last year. "It shows how I saw America and the actions of my generation through the lens of a 35mm camera."

His photos, shot between 1969 and 1974, give a glimpse into one of the most important eras of modern American history -- one punctuated by campus protests, discussions of war, and unruly political campaigns. While in words, it sounds similar to the election period Americans find themselves in now, Light's images -- collected together in a book titled What's Going On: America 1969-1974 -- depict a different time and place entirely.
