Got "About Something'? +

"A man who will not labor to gain his rights, is a man who would not, if had them, prize and defend them."  Frederick Douglass  1817-1885

 

Mr. Douglass would have been so proud of Mr. John Carlos!!

From the scrapbook of my life, a snapshot I'll never forget!!!

 

Brothers Tommie Smith and John Carlos

 

 

LibyaWest musing:

We were downstairs at the dorm watching the Olympics on that day. When they threw up the Black Power salute, we went crazy!!!!!  Black and Proud! Black and Proud! And so we were then, soooooo proud of them.  Still are.
