Charlton Heston Tribute, Part 3

One more tribute to Mister “Guns ‘N’ Moses” before bedtime. This one’s a little more serious than the previous two:

Here’s some text that Miss Fipi Lele provided along with the photos:

With the conservative activism of his later years, let us not forget that Mr. Heston had been active in the civil rights movement. The first photo above was taken in 1961… when Heston walked a picket line outside a segregated movie theater in Oklahoma. He also attended the March on Washington in 1963, famously photographed alongside Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte.
