“I chose this image because of Sammy Davies Jr.’s refusal to be intimidated by racism and hate - he was a main fundraiser for the civil rights movement in the USA. When he married Swedish actress May Britt in 1960, Sammy Davies Jr. had committed a felony in 31 US states, because he married a white woman.” Matthew Murray 2020
