these photos were taken by a photographer named jim wallace. he was able to take photographs during that movement, and get into places where other people probably would not have been able to. then he gave the photographs to the jackson center. this is one of my favorites because it has a wonderful love story. this was taken on franklin street. they were sitting across an intersection. as you can see the different signs they are holding up. the gentleman on your far left is bruce and the lady on the far right is ruby. we are talking about segregation and blacks and whites did not interact. but bruce, he was very much attracted to ruby. he told ruby that he wanted to date her. of course ruby thought he was out of his mind. but he pursued her and they began dating. of course the parents were not in favor of this interracial couple. they thought trouble was going to follow. but they continued to date one another. the parents realized there was nothing they could do. so bruce and ruby wound up getting married. it is just a wonderful love story that
