Cecil J. Williams, a photographer, made a powerful statement in 1964 when he drank from a "white only" water fountain.
Williams was born in 1937 to parents of mixed ancestry: his mother was half-white and his father was half Native American.
He received a camera from his older brother at 9 and realized he could earn money from his photographs. By 11, he photographed his first wedding, and by 12, he took pictures of people at church on Sundays, charging a dollar or two.
In the 1950s, Williams focused his camera on documenting efforts to end segregation in South Carolina. He captured important moments during the Briggs v. Elliott case, one of the first legal battles for desegregating public schools in the United States.
In 1960, during his senior year of college, Williams visited New York City and learned that JFK was holding a press conference at a downtown hotel. Despite forgetting his press pass, Williams was saved from being kicked out by security when JFK intervened and allowed him to stay.
This encounter led to Williams becoming one of JFK's favorite photographers during his presidential campaign.
In 2019, Williams opened his own museum in Orangeburg County, South Carolina, displaying over 350 images and artifacts from the civil rights movement. The museum also serves as a community center.

@georgesafo1 @LabineThomas @j3asays @FBGreatMoments Relax, buddy. By his saying he "doesn't see it at all", you should realize that this man is legally blind, walks with a red tipped white cane, has a seeing eye dog, and everything. Now, if only we could talk to his dog...

@FBGreatMoments Ok, the Rams beat the Bears IN CHICAGO in the PLAYOFFS, and you have them ranked BELOW the Bears??? And you have the Vikings (WHO DIDN'T EVEN MAKE THE PLAYOFFS) ranked ahead of the Packers??? Nobody's taking you serious, rage baiter 😂

@hovah76 I don't think anybody cares enough to be mad, frankly. However, if you think that Sanders (and his 2025 QBR of 68) getting APPOINTED to the Pro Bowl (because nobody else was available) is a sign of his greatness, then you must be delusional. Now THAT makes ME laugh!

@SimonMagus @histories_arch It's probably the anticipation of the cold cod liver oil that is bringing the expressions of joy to their precious li'l faces ...

The Oslo Breakfast was introduced in 1932 to improve the health of Norwegian schoolchildren during a time of economic struggle. Developed by physician Carl Schiøtz, it featured simple, nutrient-rich items like whole grains, dairy, fresh produce, and cod-liver oil. Served cold, it was easy to prepare and distribute across schools.
Its impact was remarkable. Children who regularly ate the Oslo Breakfast showed significant improvements in growth and overall health. Studies reported that 14-year-olds grew an average of four inches taller, making the program a celebrated example of how thoughtful nutrition could transform public health.

@JordanGrow17 @IKE_Packers WHAT, exactly does race have to do with anything?? Are you saying that blacks make better DCs than whites? Do you also think white OCs are better than blacks, that black RBs are better, that white OL are better? So funny that the race baiters are always the most racist of all!

@IKE_Packers Another basic white guy with a basic white guy name. Will be a great scapegoat for LaFleur and Gutey

@JimmyFbaby_ @HittingJw @heirjourdin @Realrclark25 "The exception, not the norm", according to who, YOU? Any stats to back this up? Or r u willing to admit this is just a nebulous theory from yet another "professional victim"? As a GB fan, I love JLove. Ironically, I'm 50% sure I'd like to see Malik Willis take over, get it?

Neither Lamar Jackson nor Josh Allen’s greatness will be realized until they win a Chip or retire. Social media have you believe that Lamar & Josh fans the other. When the truth is, they just hate us that talk about it.
They’ve always been covered differently. Lamar has had regular seasons, & Josh more playoff success. They’ve both fallen short of a ring, & that’s why both are looking for new coaches now.
They play for the perfect fan bases, but if they were switched Bills’ Mafia would love Lamar and Ravens’ flock would love Josh. It’s us the media who needs to do better!

@JimmyFbaby_ @heirjourdin @Realrclark25 "qwhite sure". My, aren't u the clever one? Why so sure? Have any statistics to back you up? Of course not, because you're wrong. Every white fan I know is a fan of both! You should find JB@heirjourdin, ride off into the sunset with her, and make li'l racist babies together!

@heirjourdin @Realrclark25 Ahhh, here comes the race baiting, right on time! Now I wanna hear how you, a pudgy, round faced fan, or Lamar is a "victim"...c'mon don't let us down!

@Realrclark25 Ravens fan from Baltimore - part of Lamar’s appeal to us is that he is a Black man. I would never feel the same way about Josh Allen - don’t care how good he is 🤷🏾♀️

In the early 1900s, photographs of women together often reveal a kind of intimacy that seems striking through a modern lens. Two women leaning close behind the bushes, sharing what looks like a private, tender moment, would not have raised many eyebrows in their time. This was an era when female friendships were celebrated, nurtured, and encouraged as essential parts of a woman’s life. Before the sweeping social changes of the mid-twentieth century, it was not unusual for women to live together, write long emotional letters, or hold hands in public, all without fear of judgment. Such connections were often referred to as “romantic friendships,” and though they could at times carry deeper feelings, society largely framed them as wholesome companionship.
In the United States and Europe, these bonds existed within a culture that limited women’s public roles but placed great value on loyalty and virtue. The home and private life were considered women’s domains, and within that sphere, emotional ties between female friends could flourish. Boarding schools, colleges, and even workplaces often provided the backdrop for these relationships to grow, with many leaving behind rich records in diaries and correspondence. In Memphis and other parts of the American South, the practice of “chumming” described the same spirit of affection—sharing secrets, embracing freely, and supporting one another during the challenges of youth and early adulthood.
Photographs like this one, with two women appearing to confide in one another away from the crowd, capture more than friendship—they highlight a world in which women found strength and comfort in each other’s presence. Whether it was laughter in a garden, whispered dreams, or gentle gestures of closeness, these bonds formed an emotional safety net in a society where independence was limited. Their story endures in these quiet, candid moments.
