Edit 1 Tone adjusted

Reason

A great news photo of an important event in the American civil rights movement. I did a rotation/perspective correction (to get the crazy leaning walls vertical) and cropped it. I'm including the original for comparison, and if others like that better or want to have a shot at fixing it themselves, have at it!
