PEOPLE ARE IN THOSE PHOTOS.
FOX FIFTY-NINE'S COURTNEY
CROWN SHARES THE BIGGER
PICTURE THAT THE PHOTOS
REPRESENT.
NEVER KNOWS WHAT YOU'LL
FIND IN THE DONATION BINS AT
GOODWILL THEY JUST DON'T.

THIS IS WHAT WE CAN DO FOR OUR
NATION. YOU KNOW WE WE CAN
STAND UP 1940'S AMERICA FOR

FELLOW STYLIST AMANDA HAMPTON
SHARES A HISTORY LESSON HERE
IN THE MIDDLE OF JIM THESE MEN
COULD NOT USE THE SAME
BATHROOM TO MICHAEL UNCERTAIN
BUILDING I HAD TO MOVE OUT THE
WAY OF WHITE HAD TO RIDE IN
THE BACK OF THE I DID NOT HAVE
THE RIGHT TO THE BOAT STILL
THEY SERVED FOR A BETTER
AMERICA ULTIMATE HEAT.
YOU KNOW I'M STILL GOING
STAND UP FOR I LIVE, THAT'S
WHAT THEY DID SAY THEY WERE
AMERICAN CITIZENS SO DESPITE
WHAT WAS GOING ON THEY STILL
DECIDED TO SEE.
TO GIVE THEIR LIVES THESE
PORTRAITS SHOW BRAVE MEN.
BUT NOT THE DISCRIMINATION
AND SEGREGATION THEY LIKELY
EACH FACED WHILE SERVING. AS
INDY AND THE COUNTRY GRAPPLES
WITH HEALING RACIAL AND HOPES
THEIR SACRIFICE IS HONORED I
THINK THAT LOVE IS THE
ULTIMATE WEAPON THAT WE NEED
TO USE ANOTHER TO HEAL OUR
COUNTRY TO MOVE FORWARD. YOU
CAN BE STUCK IN THE PAST WE
CAN HONOR ITS ACKNOWLEDGE IT
AND THEN MOVE ON FROM IT FOR A
BETTER TOMORROW IN DOWNTOWN
