1968 was a revolutionary year in the history of the United States of America...
College students aggressively protested the Vietnam War. Senator Robert F. Kennedy was murdered. Hank Aaron became the 8th ever member of the 500 Home Run club. Republican Richard Nixon was elected President. The Beatles released The White Album. Riots exploded in Chicago, Illinois during the Democratic Convention. And Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.
I came across this picture on twitter and noticed my heart skipping a beat. I'm not sure what it was that gave me the butterflies that I feel whenever I look at the photo. Maybe it's because I buy Ebony Magazine often. Maybe it's because the cover is from this same month. Maybe it's because these are two people who I feel like I know so well, even though I haven't ever met them. Whatever the case may be, the photo definitely touched me and I've decided to share it with you, my readers, my loves...
