EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Cleveland Robinson, a prominent American labor leader and civil rights activist. Taken in 1963 by Orlando Fernandez, it showcases Robinson standing on the second floor of the National Headquarters of the March on Washington in Harlem, New York City. Robinson's powerful presence is evident as he points towards something outside the frame, his expression filled with determination and conviction. The sepia tone adds a timeless quality to this image, emphasizing its historical significance. The building behind him proudly displays a banner that reads "March on Washington" symbolizing the collective fight for equality and justice during that era. This location served as a hub for organizing efforts and strategic planning to advance civil rights causes. As an African-American man from Jamaica, Robinson played a crucial role in advocating for equal rights not only within labor unions but also within broader society. His commitment to social justice resonated deeply with many Americans at that time. This photograph serves as a testament to Robinson's indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication to fighting for civil rights. It stands as an enduring reminder of those who paved the way for progress and serves as inspiration for future generations striving towards equality.
