1. Trump has no clue.

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.

3. That's quite a group of heroes in that picture

although I am sure the head Republican (probably most republicans) would disagree.

4. I am embarrassed that I do not recognize all 5 men

Left to right:

Ralph Abernathy, #2, Marin Luther King, #4, #5.

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!

5. Is that John Lewis on far right?

#5?

[rurallib]

7. yes

8. I cannot think of the name of #2

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.

When considering the history of suffrage and civil rights!
