We’ve done songs already, how about photos? I must have seen this one captured at a KKK rally in Michigan over a decade ago and still can’t get it out of my mind:
I suppose you could link your photo in the comments section. Either that or post it on your own blog.

Myung, the black lady is shielding the white supremacist from getting beat to death.

Myung, a little more here, I searched for this picture b/c where we live right now has heightened my awareness of the disastrous product of ethnic hatred. People need to be more like the lady in this picture. I need to be more like the lady in this picture, taking radical, life-risking steps of love towards my enemies. It makes me very uncomfortable to think about, really.

Hi Rob- I’ve been visiting your blog by way of your sister for a while now. Decided to go ahead and comment as this photo makes me cry. Not literally, figuratively

Oh wow, that’s a good one Tonia. Thanks for posting it! I had some similar ones that were like it but will save them for later. It’s just beautiful.

actually hang on tonia. I’m not sure if i’m looking at a live baby or an aborted one because of where the little hand is connected. Please tell me that it’s the former…

That’s a live baby. They performed an operation in utero for spina bifida. The baby reached out his hand and held the surgeons finger. No, if it was an abortion, I would cry literally.

maybe it’s just a single guy speaking, but i find that picture of the baby scary. maybe i need to experience someone giving birth.

The first photographer I thought of was James Nachtwey. If you haven’t seen the film “War Photographer,” then I suggest you do. I created a blog to respond to this post.
