    This is a good picture, I like the layout of the photo. The lighting or lack there of makes it more subtle.
  • Rob said:
    Notice all of the photos of this event are candids shot from a distance, as if the photographer did not want to intrude. A gesture of respect from a probable white photographer? Or was he just keeping his distance?

    I live in the south and there are still a lot of people that like to sit on a pond or lake all day. Its a form on relaxation and a cheap way to de-stress even if you don't catch one fish.
  • Michael Crowe said:
    "Negroes" ? Somebody needs to sort that madness out.
  • HugeRedBear said:
    "Somebody" needs to stop huffing the Political Correctness gas. It has that title because that is what the photograph was titled at the TIME. It is a dishonor to all those who fought and died for civil rights to erase the unpleasant TRUTH of the past. If you hide the past that is today considered disagreeable in time people will forget all the hard work to move forward. There will be back sliding and repetition of mistakes. And then everything gained is imperiled. You already see it in urban culture. Would MLK allow for the "musicians" (I put it in quotes 'cause many of them are far more interested in begging for attention than creating art) that use the various N-words to refer to each other? Never. These people grew up with most of the battles won. They've forgotten and/or compartmentalized their past and have no problem disrespecting and hurting their communities. Political correctness is best, like all things, in moderation.

    Thank you, HugeRedBear!

    MLK said "negroes" a thousand times.
