“It was so long ago, get over it.”

Here is Cecil Williams, civil rights activist known for going across the south and taking photos of him using racist, clearly segregated spaces with intent in 1956. This video is of him walking a fashion catwalk at NYFashion week wearing a hoodie that features the photo that inspired a nation. He is 87 years young. This makes me very very very very happy to watch.

Now we just need a photo of someone taking a shit on an ICE vehicle so we can celebrate that 70 years later

I’d do it but there’s no way I’d look this gangster in my 80s

just whip off that colostomy and hope you aim right.
