Two Boys
Image
Two boys in an image taken by a civil rights volunteer. The boy on the right, identified as Charles, is writing while the boy on the left, James, looks on. "Charles and James loved to play games with me even though they waited sometimes until after 9:00 p.m. for me to return home. Charles (right) especially wanted to be with me as often as possible. Charles also walked with me to the Freedom School. He wanted to canvass with me in Summit, but I felt it was an unnecessary risk for him."
