RIP Emmitt Till. He was killed on this day 42 years ago.. at the tender age of 14 for whistling at white woman. The picture of his body after he was found still gives me chills and makes me nauseous to this day. It's so horrifying. His story will NEVER be forgotten.
On this day in 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his remarkable "I have a dream" speech, here in Washington. It was only right... we visited the memorial.. on this day.
#FunFact The MLK Memorial appears to be located @ 1964 Independence Ave. 1964- The year the Civil Rights Act was passed :)
Our "March to Martin"..... that's what I like to call it. We definitely parked like 4 miles away...
"Sweet King Martin!"
Frontin like she don't wanna take a picture.. she love the camera lol
Had to bring my keepsake from home to catch this shot...
A extraordinary longgg wall of his quotes. I LOVE it.
