This image shows the  integrated Little Rock Central High in Arkansas class members from 1957 one member of the group Jefferson Thomas recently passed away. The Photography of the American Civil rights movement is a subject I’m interested in photographers like Charles Moore and Spider Martin.

The above picture is really interesting. Despite the people having a lesser pace in their step they still stand united. As proud as the day they stood up in 1957 and said no more…

The sky above the collection of people maybe resembles a metaphor to the past and the stormy road they walked along to get their equal rights of today. The group has a very powerful stance about them. A fitting tribute to group who fought for what they believed!
