among friends

My dad took this photograph at a Vietnam War protest in Philadelphia. The guy six rows back, with his fist raised in the air is my uncle. Every time I look at this photo on our kitchen wall, I think of how valuable coming together can be. Martin Luther King once said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." This photograph is really such a great example of people expressing themselves and working together to do so. That guy, front and center, isn't too bad to look at, either.
