The statue was based on the Revs. N.H. Smith Jr., A.D. King and John T. Porter, who led a march in downtown Birmingham on Palm Sunday 1963 to support the Revs. Martin Luther King Jr., Fred Shuttlesworth and Ralph Abernathy, who had been jailed. (source)

A damn fine monochrome, Rian. And it’s always like this: Action speaks louder than words. So does this frame of yours!
All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.
excellent stonework
That center guy looks like someone snuck up on him and kicked him in the behind! I would have said ‘good timing’ to catch that expression but in this case it wasn’t so difficult 😉
It reminds me that everything in life changes and evolves.
Nice framing and BW processing !
They couldn’t have picked a better person to shoot that last roll of Kodachrome. I always liked Kodachrome 64 but I like digital a lot better.
A dramatic sculpture and B&W capture.
Really nice mono of this historic scene
nice picture, of some way cool guys…. i watched the video but nearly had a heart attack lol… i learned photography on film, and believe me, when your heart goes into the capture and then something screws up in the developing, you never forget, it still hurts me, after all these years, the shots that got screwed up that i wanted so badly….
I like your use of film. Its nostalgic for me, and quite moving… wait, I need a moment… :^)
An interesting and important monument. Much better than all those dedicated to fighting men.
Attrayant.)
Impressive statue.
I started watching the video, I will finish it tomorrow. I used Kodachrome too.
