# H2: Reflections on the Fight Against Racism: A Photographer’s Perspective
Hey there, Kevin Ross here. Let's talk about the ongoing battle against racism. Back in the day, we truly believed that we were on the cusp of defeating this ugly beast once and for all. But as time has passed, it's become clear that the fight is far from over.
## The 1960s: A Time of Activism and Change
In the 1960s, I was right there in the thick of it, witnessing history unfold before my very eyes. Activists and revolutionaries like Martin Luther King and the Black Panthers were leading the charge, inspiring us all to stand up and fight for what was right.
Stephen Shames, a photographer who captured those iconic moments, was right there alongside these trailblazers. His lens captured the raw emotion and passion of those fighting for equality and justice.
## A New Generation, a New Fight
Now, more than 50 years later, Shames is hoping to ignite a fire in a new generation. A generation that may feel discouraged by the resurgence of racism and the rise of the right. Through his exhibition of unseen work, he aims to remind us all that the fight is far from over.
So, let's take a page from Shames' book and reignite that passion within us. Let's continue to stand up, speak out, and fight against racism in all its forms. Together, we can make a difference.
