You might recognize the woman in this photo as the legendary Liza Minelli (daughter of Dorothy herself, Judy Garland). The man sitting next to her is Sammy Davis Jr.

Sammy Davis Jr. was born in 1925, so he was no stranger to racism. He fought against institutional racism both in music and in life. Sammy and Liza were pretty good friends, as you can probably tell from this photo. Liza was just 28 years old when this photo was taken.
