Recently I found a new interesting author Michael Lesy...I had requested his book 'Bearing Witness.' Not sure why, I think that it was a reference about photo albums. The scrapbook that I'm writing about does not have any photographs. btw it's still sitting here kinda done. We have printer troubles but it feels final to me. Also, the two people that I wrote offering to pay them cash money for reviewing it....no response from either. hmmm
Anyway, it had an interesting introductory essay. The rest of the book were collections of images from American history from the Civil War until 1945. Picked by the author from large public archives. I looked through the whole thing, thinking that I would pick an image for my blog. Just one that spoke to me.
This woman jumped out of me. From the Tuskegee Institute 1906. Doesn't she just look through you? Such power.
Made it to my second class. At the outset, I'm can see that I've got to pick my way through intersexuality and intersectionality ( a big theme ). And intertexuality which was part of the scrapbook research.
Went over with my buddy Jean (another access student who was in the Holocaust class) to register and hand over our $5. Gotta love it, this is my fifth access class; I still can't believe that they let us do this. Don't tell anybody! PS wow, how did the image get so big??? Oh well, it suits her.
