EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ralph David Abernathy, a remarkable figure in American history. Born on March 11,1926, in Lindon, Alabama, Abernathy was the son of a farmer who would go on to become an influential pastor and civil rights leader. Abernathy's journey towards activism began when he became an ordained Baptist minister in 1948. His passion for education led him to earn a B. S. degree in mathematics from Alabama State University in 1950. Determined to make a difference through understanding society, he pursued his M. A. in sociology from Atlanta University just one year later. Throughout his life, Abernathy dedicated himself to fighting for equality and justice for African Americans during the turbulent times of the Civil Rights Movement. He stood alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. , serving as his trusted confidant and partner-in-activism. With his powerful presence and unwavering commitment to nonviolent protest, Abernathy played a pivotal role in organizing key events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Selma-to-Montgomery marches. Sadly, this extraordinary leader passed away on April 17th, 1990; however, his legacy lives on as an inspiration for generations to come. This poignant print serves as a timeless reminder of Ralph David Abernathy's indelible contributions towards shaping America into a more inclusive nation that values freedom and equality for all its citizens.
