Love this photo.

Ella baker had a quote that got taken out of context that fits "the movement made martin, not martin the movement."

Generations of progress culminating in tangible change. Can't imagine the shit that asa Phillip Randolph saw, just in his lifetime.

cant recall the rabbis name who is in that photo. Dude literally gave speeches to Nazis in attendance in pre Holocaust Germany. Fled.

Incredibly important photo.
