Rosa Parks with Martin Luther King Jr. in Background[edit]

Original - Rosa Parks at the time of her involvement in the Civil Rights movement, with Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in the background.
Reason
Picture of historic value. The nicest picture of Rosa Parks as she looked at the time of the incident. Does not meet size requirements, but historical value and lack of other available photos of her at the time should make up for that. If not, I'll withdraw it.

  • Oppose. I don't look at this picture and think "wow, this is amazing, I learn so much" so I'm not really seeing why we should ignore the size requirements. Not of particularly high quality, composition is a little ordinary/snapshotty... I just don't think this is FP material. J Milburn (talk) 22:09, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Does not meet size or quality requirements, and there is insufficient evidence that this photograph is historically unique, given that she was a reasonably high profile public figure for half a century and we have a large number of photographs of her.
