Hi my name is Jeremy . I just wanted to say thank you so much to John. I remember seeing this photo for the first time in high school . It became a true inspiration to me. I never knew how important photography was until I picked up a camera. This photo to this day represents not only much American history but black history as well .
I wrote a post on how this photo kept me going during my younger days dealing with racism. Every time I experienced
racism I think of the story behind the photo how even tho all 3 weren't the same color of people they stood the together for a purpose . Thank you John Dominis R.I H
