Mr. Cecil 'Fuck Yo Water Fountain' Williams #CecilWilliams, born in #OrangeburgSouth Carolina, photographed his first wedding at 11 years old. From then, he began a career in photography, which started as a simple way to make money, and would quickly morph into a tool to document #AmericanHistory. By the time he was 14, Cecil was freelancing for #JETMagazine.  When the magazine became aware of the #CivilRightsMovement growing in Orangeburg, they needed an onsite correspondent for constant updates. “#FuckYoFountain” Williams went on to photograph significant desegregation efforts in #SouthCarolina. Some of his most notable pictures are from the #BriggsvElliott case in #SummertonSouthCarolina. It was the first of five #Desegregation cases that eventually pushed to #IntegratePublicSchools in the #UnitedStates, as all five cases would later on be combined into #BrownvBoardOfEducation, the landmark 1954 #USSupremeCourt case that declared “separate but equal” public schools for whites and blacks was UNCONSTITUTIONAL. #BlackWomenInPower #BlackExcellence #BlackHistory365 #BlackHistoryMonth2020 #BlackHistoryMonth 💕💚REPOSTED: #4evahaka2 #FAMUGrad1908💕💚#CreditToOwner #HBCUS #SupportALLHBCUS #TakeYourTalentsToAnHBCU Via @blackwithnochaser @ebonymagazine https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SEjMAn2HK/?igshid=1lcrp2hgs4zeo

Disobediance is pride when the laws or rules are meant to terrorize you because of your skin color. I refuse to conform or be afraid. #teamrob #cecilwilliams https://www.instagram.com/p/BprrLDWnGkm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m7fkzje3zc8f
