PICTURE STORY/POLITICS David Gilkey NPR ARMSTRONGCivil Rights leader James Armstrong still lives in Birmingham, Ala., working at the same barbershop where he once cut Martin Luther King, Jr.’s hair. Armstrong marched with Dr. King and was also arrested several times. In 1963, he and other civil rights foot soldiers braved the assault by police commissioner Bull Connor’s attack dogs and water cannons. Armstrong does not take his hard-earned right to vote for granted - he votes in every election, always first thing in the morning.
