Example: [Collected via e-mail, August 2015] I've seen this meme posted a couple of times now, and it's been shared over 10,000 times. I'm 99% sure the image has been altered to change the message on the poster, but can find nothing verifying that. I'd greatly appreciated it if you could somehow find the original photo and some history of its manipulation. Origins: Since at least as far back as December 2013 the image displayed above has been circulating on social media sites, appearing to depict a black woman holding a handwritten sign reading Justise for Trayon and questioning Are 1 of my 13 suns next? However, that this image is actually a digitially altered version of a photograph is easily determined. When the original picture appeared in a July 2013 Huffington Post article, the unnamed protester's sign featured no misspellings (and referenced three sons, not thirteen): Altering photos to include incorrect spellings (or alternate meanings/explanations) on protest signs and shirts proved popular among those who disapproved of demonstrations during the course of Ferguson, Missouri, and Black Lives Matters protests.
