Two years ago today I created this image from Margaret Bourke-White’s famous photograph.
Even the tagline in the graphic is apropos to today.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
The original:
February, 1937: African American flood victims lined up to get food & clothing fr. Red Cross relief station in front of billboard extolling WORLD’S HIGHEST STANDARD OF LIVING/ THERE’S NO WAY LIKE THE AMERICAN WAY.
City: LOUISVILLE
State: KY

Love your created image. Says it all. Love the new header at Uppity’s as well. Been recovering from surgery and it hasn’t been going too well. I guess it’s what happens when one gets older.
Anyway, love your work.

The courts, the congress, the presidency- this guy reminds me of the evil emperor in the Star Wars films.
