Well this is timely. Ida B Hayes who was born a slave won a special Pulitzer yesterday for her reporting on Lynching in America. In the early 1900s. Better late than never I guess.
Sometimes your photography is so powerful that I can't even comment. Sunday was one of those days. I wanted to ask: Which site had more affect on you. Auschwitz or Whitney Plantation? Both or those had a profound effect on me as did today's post.
I'm not sure which one had more of an impact. Both had very different feelings to them as I was there. Auschwitz has a very sad feel to it and you can feel the pain that happened there. The Whitney plantation was a beautiful place and it was hard to imagine the bad things that happened there. If it weren't for the statues and the plaques describing things, you would never be able to tell of the horrors that happened at the Whitney plantation.
Thanks Wes. I appreciate the answer.
