marches. Among its most articulate advocates have been Ghandi who maintained that action needs to be accompanied by love and a willingness to search for the truth, and Martin Luther King, Jr., who called for “tough-mindedness and tenderheartedness.”

Alabama, 1960.Early in the movement, King and his wife Coretta CELEBRATE a victory in Montgomery.
This picture shows how important it was to celebrate every obstacle the African Americans overcame. They took great pride in the obstacles that were not only huge incluences on them and in history, but also the smaller things. Often those smaller events led to something huge and greater than they expected. Martin Luther King Jr.'s victory in Montgomery was won of the largest victories in the Civil Rights movement and will be remembered by not only African Americans, but also Americans everywhere.
Alabama, 1963.After being hit from behind and knocked down by a water hose, a woman is picked up and RESCUED by a fellow demonstrator.
This picture has great emphasis on African American community. Whether they knew them or not, blacks would be there to help, support, and to rescue the people in need of help. This picture shows the love they had for eachother also. During this hard time, they learned to stick together and to fight for their freedom together. This picture has a great meaning to me. Just as this man is rescuing this women when she is most vulnerable, Jesus is there to rescue and save us when we have hit rock bottom.
(3.) I believe there is discrimination in our community today. People are being discriminated when they can't get a job because they are men or women or because they don't have enough experience in a certian area. People are also discriminated when they are judged by their social status and the amount of money they make a year; their size of their house and how many cars they have.
These were two rather evocative photos I have not seen before in this forum. Thank you for diggning a little deeper. Perceptive reflections here.
