Home Actor Platon HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers March 2021 Platon Instagram - reverend ct vivian. "Today it is with great sadness that I post a tribute to one of my all time heroes and mentors. The Reverend CT Vivian passed away early this morning, he was 95 years old. He was one of Martin Luther King's closest advisors and a most loyal champion for the Civil Rights Movement. Dedicated to non-violent protests, CT Vivian spoke truth to power and courageously confronted his racist foes with dignity and resilience. I photographed him in Atlanta, Georgia at the Ebenezer Baptist Church where Martin Luther King used to preach to his congregation. After the shoot, CT took the day off and spent hours giving me private counsel - the principles of non-violent direct action - the importanace of compassion - how to fight for justice and drive positive change. I asked, 'What do you say to my generation?' He replied, 'When you get knocked down stand back up, stand up to the powers that be, but do it peacefully with grace in your heart, without violence.' I picked up my camera and focused the lens - he closed his eyes and raised his hand. 'Reverend, what are you thinking at this moment?' I asked. He replied, 'I’m reaching for the stars my brother, reaching for the stars.' Reverend CT Vivian, I salute you."

Platon Instagram – john lewis. “I first met Rep. John Lewis in his office in Washington DC. It was a cold, dark January morning and we were planning a photo session. His voice was gentle, his face kind, his demeanor good-hearted. He reflected on his childhood and how raising chickens taught him a great deal about personal responsibility. ‘I would preach to the chickens and they would listen.’ He then whispered, ‘You know I’m the last one left.’ ‘The last what?’ I asked. ‘The last living speaker from the March on Washington.’ In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his epic I HAVE A DREAM speech and John Lewis spoke proudly by his side. ‘I loved and admired that man, he was my hero’ he said. It now seemed obvious – I had to persuade the congressman to brave the cold and to be photographed in front of the Lincoln Memorial where he once shaped American history. I nervously made the ask. He paused, ‘I’ll be there tomorrow at 8am, I’ll give you ten minutes.’ The next day I arrived at the memorial while it was still dark. I realized that the mighty columns would dwarf this humble man, so using perspective as a tool I found a quiet spot of frosted grass further away below the steps and set up my light and camera. He arrived just after sun up – today he was different – tough, ready for action, determined and committed. ‘Let’s do it,’ he said. I captured the man as a towering national monument. After five minutes I was done. I thanked him and as I escorted him back to his warm car he whispered, ‘I gave you ten minutes – you only took five – now I have five minutes spare to make a difference. Let’s hope I’m successful.’ John Lewis, rest in peace, I salute you.”
Platon Instagram – Dear friends, it’s been a long time since I have posted and I apologize for my absence. I have been completely consumed with some really, really exciting new initiatives and plans. I am hoping to shake up the world as we come out of lockdown. In the meantime, I wanted to tell you a story that may resonate with you. I spent a day with George Clooney in his Hollywood garden some time ago. We had worked together 25 years earlier as we were both beginning our careers and it was so nice to reconnect. We are much older now and hopefully wiser. I asked him to describe our time. He said that we are living through an extraordinary period in history, that we have more information at our fingertips and more connectivity than ever before yet somehow, we seem to know less. He continued…if we want to get the news today, we probably go to a source online that confirms what we already believe, and so we are in danger of being trapped in our own echo chamber – and that magical thing called a shared experience, where we respectfully debate our differences, is rapidly disappearing. Yet as I write this post today, I am reminded of our beautiful and unique community. I know for sure you are all different types of people who believe in different things, yet you continue to engage with my stories, and I am always inspired by your uplifting and thoughtful comments. Your support reinforces my optimism for a brighter, fairer and more inclusive future. We show up and we are present. At the end of my day with George I asked, “What do you hope for as we face these challenges?” He said, “I hope for reason because reason always wins out.” George Clooney, I salute you.
