^That animal trainer pic is crazzzyyyy. How the animals were able to sit still like that for a portrait is amazing.
This thread epitomizes the meaning of pictures and how transcendent they can be, immortalizing figures and giving life again to past avatars of years and generations past. Love this thread.

Junius Stinney was the youngest person in America to be executed on death row in 1944 at age 14. He was quickly accused by the (white police) of ‘killing’ two little (white girls) with lack of evidence. His conviction and sentencing opened and closed in one day. There were no witnesses called and there was no transcript of the trial details and black people were not allowed inside the courtroom during that time.
