My cousin took this photo while at our family reunion in Atlanta. This photo touched me and stopped me in my tracks to reflect. It means so much more to me now. It makes me think of family and my relatives who have passed. It represents a time of community and struggle when African Americans had a leader who fought for us in a time when there was no question and no denial of the conditions of our people in America. So much history, so close to my heart. And I know that other people have such moments in their lives. People must never forget their History nor neglect to recall it from time to time – and I mean ALL people.
