I read somewhere that someone said society is a choice between complete freedom and complete equality but MLK said no one is free until we’re all free.

I saw “Reaction Film: Black Power” at the Stony Island Arts Bank in Chicago on Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2017. The film features individuals including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Muhammad Ali discussing the meaning of “Black power”. The original 16mm print was digitized by Chicago Film Archives, and currently resides in their collection. You can watch the 15-minute film here: https://goo.gl/l34V5O

“In the Gloaming,” Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1894. I scanned this photo from an album belonging to my stepdad, David McDowell, while I was home for Christmas. The photo was taken by his grandfather, Herbert Axford, of his (David’s) grandmother. Cyanotype prints (which get their name from the cyan-blue color of resultant developed images) like this one seem to age much better than e.g. silver gelatin prints. (The word “gloaming” means “to become twilight” or “to grow dark.” Ex: “With the gloaming came the familiar call of the whip-poor-will,” Mirriam-Webster.)
