Photo of the Day: “At the Time of the Louisville Flood” (1937)

00-mbourkewhite2d.jpg

This image by Margret Bourke-White stands as one of the pivotal pieces of art capturing a divide between race and prosperity that existed 1937 America and may still exist today in the minds of many Americans. Despite the fact that unemployment had reached staggering overall lows of 25% during the Great Depression’s worst freefall, the photo forces the viewer to wonder if there are those unmentionable Black folks who will never see the cheerfully advertised “world’s highest standard of living” by their respective standards of lifetime.

Wax for a decent wage.

The last week in April in is National Karaoke Week in the United States

Source: MSNBC.com

In 2003, amiable amateur William Hung entered the American Idol spotlight with his spirited and equally awful rendition of Ricky Martin’s hit “She Bangs.” He politeness and positivity somehow won over America and in 2004 he scored a recording contract with Koch Records and a Billboard Top 40 album cheekily titled Inspiration. All this came from a UC Berkley Civil Engineering student who just wanted to have fun like most every karaoke patron.
