(1,956 posts)Thanks for posting that photo. I had forgotten about the linked arms during the civil rights marches.
Trump has no clue. He tweeted: "Standing with locked arms is good, kneeling is not acceptable."
He evidently does not realize that the football players standing with locked arms started last season to show support for racial justice and support for Kaepernick kneeling.

Can you please remind me of the others?
I was only 14 when MLK was assassinated so I do not know recognize all.
OP: Good catch on the locked arms. Powerful message!

(62,328 posts)Abernathy is #1, I want to say Farmer - James Farmer?, then King, then someone I do not know, then Lewis.
Nope - totally wrong:
Martin Luther King leading march from Selma to Montgomery to protest lack of voting rights for African Americans. Beside King is John Lewis, Reverend Jesse Douglas, James Forman and Ralph Abernathy. March 1965.
