My favorite picture from the Black Power era. I remember watching the news clip that day in Detroit. I was 14 at the time. Jonathan Jackson walked out of the courthouse and told the reporters, “It’s okay to take pictures; we are the revolutionaries.”
I’m not dissing being comfortable, but just saying that revolutions are extremely uncomfortable situations around very uncomfortable people with an uncertain end.
