Fifty-seven years ago today, on August 28th, 1963, a whole generation marched on America's capital demanding equal rights and opportunities for black Americans. Today, I'm giving away a set of high-resolution, full-color, colorized images for free on Unsplash—it's the first time ever the public has been able to see them. All of these colorized photographs can now be shared, used, and modified for free under the terms of the Unsplash Licence.

You are very, very wrong my dear. Do you have do sit in the back of the bus? Do you have to use the back door to enter your non-black friend's house? Do you have to go to a separate place to eat, because you are not allowed where "decent folks (meaning white) folks" eat? Are you denied LITERALLY and LOUDLY denied a job because of your race? Not some perceived injustice, physically being thrown out of a building for DARING to apply for a job there. Have you been denied a drink of water, a place to play, a church to worship, a person to love, because of the color of your skin. You cannot HONESTLY answer yes to any of these questions. You want to, you may even perceive in your left filled brain that you have been. But, trust me sweetie. You have NOT! They DID! They were attacked by Dogs! Wiped off the street by water cannon! REAL men stood and protested FOR jobs. Boys now protest that the government doesn't give them enough money. And you think things haven't changed. poor deluded baby.
