I Just Don't Remember It As Being That Bad

The 2017 Corn Palace is . . . woke? The theme this year is "South Dakota weather," but a plausible reading of three main panels suggests the real subject is climate change.

#Mississippi Civil Rights Museum preview. Doris Derby's camera will be on display when the museum opens in December. Derby worked in the movement in Mississippi for most of the '60s and also documented it. The 2nd photograph is one of her most well-known pictures: a health clinic in the Delta in '68. The 3rd picture is an awesome portrait of the MS activist June Jordan.

It's been weird watching my portrait of @repjohnlewis flying around Twitter these last few days. Used in tweets by detractors as well as admirers. Always cropped (as far as I've seen). So I might as well get in on the action. Here's the full-frame image, made on July 25, 2007, on the small balcony outside his office. It appears in my book Breach of Peace: Portraits of the 1961 Mississippi Freedom Riders. #goodtrouble
