All of those people around him are demons
hey guys! here’s some fun things i learned from this article about Dion Diamond:
- he did these sit-ins by himself. like idk about you, but i always thought of sit-ins as organized by groups, what kind of bravery does it take, man
- he didn’t tell anyone about it, like he was no glory-seeker about this. his parents didn’t even know until reporters started calling them up like “hey, did you know your son is in jail?
- when someone called the cops he’d skedaddle out the back door although he was sent to prison multiple times
- the last time he got arrested was in Baton Rouge, and the cops were so sick of him that they told inmates they’d put in a good word for anyone who gave Diamond a hard time. (the inmates didn’t take the bait.)
- he’s still alive!
hark, a hero of our times!
That is unbelievable courage!
That last picture. The composition of it is amazing. of the White Man In A Suit trying to assert his authority of a black man peaceful protesting while being flanked by guys in literal Nazi uniform. The Nazis literally have the Respectable Authority’s back.
Even the direction. All the white people are facing one direction, pointedly towards Dion who is the facing the opposite direction.
It’s astounding.
You can’t stage a better photo.
