Stunning photojournalism there, of some truly amazing moments.
Also, someone posted a quote of Dr. King’s along with the dates of his birth and death. Guys, MLK and Anne Frank were born in the same year. I hadn’t realized that. Somehow it kind of. Gets me.

Why do so many people have so many great faces? Look at this great face! What an awesome badass. \o/
Elizabeth “Bessie” Coleman, c. 1922. The world’s first person of African descent to hold an international aviation license as well as the United States’ first African American female aviator. And…..she was from Chicago!
You have to read her story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessie_Coleman. There needs to be a movie made about her life, ASAP. She was a bad-ass!
The flowers! His smile! Her “yeah, I’m a pilot” face! I like all this.
