OriginalFannie Lou Hamer arguing for representation at the 1964 Democratic National Convention.
Reason
I've never understood the objection to the first nomination. It's someone photographed in the middle of one of the most important things they did. It's pretty clearly a very important image. Now, is it perfect? No, but that's what happens with action shots.

  • Support – for the EV. The composition is bad, but its a historic photo. The photo is of her testimony, which had an impact, and is covered in three articles listed above, along with this photo. Bammesk (talk) 01:50, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Just because it relates to an important issue from a long time ago, does not mean we should promote a mundane snapshot. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:07, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - This is essentially an action shot for someone involved in politics, and given the significance of the historical moment, I think the EV outweighs the composition issues.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:25, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
