Funeral of Martin Luther King, Jr., 1968

"I flew to Atlanta and arrived in advance of the plane that was carrying Dr. King’s body. I had been in an area of the tarmac that was allotted for photographers, but I moved out of it for a moment and caught one frame of his widow, Coretta Scott King, and their children as they prepared to step down from the plane."

Photographer: Harry Benson

I haven't heard people talking about this much, but I feel like it's important for people to know. Especially since SB 63 essentially bans bail funds by not allowing organizations, charities, individuals, or groups to bail out more than three people per year and requiring them to register as bonding agencies.

This is a direct response to all the protests happening here in Atlanta. So far, spreading the word can help as well as donating to The Atlanta Solidarity Fund .

In the meantime, here's some phone numbers of politicians you can go bug.

Randy Robertson (Guy who's sponsoring the bill): +1-404-656-0045

Brian Kemp (Governor of Georgia): +1-404-656-1776

If you start in Atlanta and go directly south, you will never hit South America.
