- Description
- This is a picture of two Hazaras heading home after Jeshyn celebrations. One of the men had won a medal in Tent-pegging at the festival. Jeshyn was a week-long celebration in mid-August, throughout the entire country. It was a celebration of Afghan independence from the British, or at least when the British admitted they couldn't really dictate Afghanistan's foreign policy any longer. <br>The Blair Brainard Peace Corps in Afghanistan Photographic Collection captures the photographers experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in Afghanistan, primarily in the city of Herat, 1965-1968.
