Moore's Ford (dial-up challenging)

[Allen]

In the late 1940's there was a heinous crime in my hometown. A lynching of 4 people that goes unsolved to this day. A better explanation than I could ever give is here Moore's Ford
These were taken during a recent march on the bridge.

Very impressive. Sad, sad story behind this march. But it's good to be remembered, so a thing like this won't ever happen again!
The last photo is the strongest, emotionally.
All other are good.
I like the close-ups.
Did you ask for their consent before you put them up into the internet? I would always worry too much about people's rights to their own picture, it's a constant worry with me.

Got some good shots there. I like the shot of Annie Maud Smith and the picture below it, interesting expressions on their faces.

Thanks Guys,
@LA: Yes ma'am, I had their permission. I'm part of the local press (one of about 8 photographers there), and was asked to document the event by the organizers. With the exception of the group shot on the bridge, I spoke to everyone shown, after I shot the images. For that shot the photographers were asked to be on the opposite side of the bridge as the crowd marched across singing "We shall overcome".
