I remember this incident, and my thankfulness that someone had taken the risk of interceding with a hostile government to save American lives. This memory is more poignant now in light of the paths that these three men have taken since that day. Let him who thinks that he stands take heed, lest he fall. The business of government is carried on by flawed men and women who can be misled by temptation and greed. Yet we must continue to work toward better government and we must strive to correct wrongs when they occur, even if it means working with “strange bedfellows.” Yes, this is an iconic photo whose meaning only intensifies as history unfolds.

All of whom were members of Chicago’s Blackstone Rangers. Members were based on Blackstone Avenue in the Woodlawn neighborhood of Chicago’s South Side.

Another Jackson in Neverland.
