“It was so long ago, get over it.”

Here is Cecil Williams, civil rights activist known for going across the south and taking photos of him using racist, clearly segregated spaces with intent in 1956. This video is of him walking a fashion catwalk at NYFashion week wearing a hoodie that features the photo that inspired a nation. He is 87 years young. This makes me very very very very happy to watch.

We need to stop glorifying these fashists and their different cities' "fash week" celebrations.

What a great guy. But that low battery though.

Now we just need a photo of someone taking a shit on an ICE vehicle so we can celebrate that 70 years later

I'm closer to his age, so I am nowhere close to regular enough to shit on command on a cop car. That is a young man's game. Back in my day though...

I’d do it but there’s no way I’d look this gangster in my 80s

No pressure, that level of badass is a tough act to follow
