Meme lore
What is the Al Green Holds Up a Sign meme?
A political image macro template built around the large blank placard held toward the camera. Add a short, highly readable statement directly onto the sign to turn it into a protest message, reaction, demand, or punchline.
Origin & history
This appears to be a press-style photograph from the U.S. House chamber during a State of the Union address, with Rep. Al Green centered while holding a large placard. The version supplied for the template has the placard blank, making it suitable for custom text. Specific publication and edit provenance are unclear.
