A fact from Bill Hudson (photographer) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 July 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Diane McWhorter wrote in Carry Me Home that a 1963 Bill Hudson photo of a black protester being attacked by a police dog drove "international opinion to the side of the civil rights revolution"?
The photograph was turned into a statue, by an artist named Ronald McDowell, for Kelly Ingram Park in Birmingham. But the surprising story behnd it can be found here and the original podcast is here. In summary: the police officer was well behind the police cordon which had been erected to separate marchers from "onlookers" and was trying to restrain the dog; the 15-year boy had no connection with the civil rights march, had bunked off school for the day just to see Martin Luther King and had, in fact, only cut through the police cordon to avoid the marchers who were coming towards him; he also later complained that the statue had made him look "African" when he was in fact "colored".
