Description of Pictures: In September 1957, nine black students walked into Little Rock's all-white Central High School, striking a blow against segregation. As the heroic efforts of the "Little Rock Nine" helped define the civil rights era, the media played a crucial role in calling the public's attention to the issues of the day. To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of these historic events, the Newseum and the National Archives Experience present "50 Years After Little Rock: The Media and the Movement." The evening begins with a screening of the documentary film The Press and the Civil Rights Movement, produced by Frank Bond. Bond, a Newseum producer and formerly an anchor and reporter at WUSA-TV, will then moderate a discussion on the media's coverage of issues relating to race, justice and equality. Long-time Washington Post columnist Dorothy Gilliam, who covered Little Rock, and Gene Roberts, whose book The Race Beat won a Pulitzer Prize, will sit on the panel.
The event was introduced by David McMillen, Director of External Affairs, National Archives

2007 photos: Equipment this year: I used the Fuji S9000 almost exclusively except for the period when it broke and I had to send it back for repairs. In August, I bought a Canon Rebel Xti, my first digital SLR (vs regular digital) which I tried as well but I wasn't that excited by it.
Trips this year: Two weeks down south (including Graceland, Shiloh, VIcksburg, and New Orleans), a week at a time share in Costa Rica over my 50th birthday, a week off for a family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with sidetrips to Dayton, Springfield, and Madison), a week in San Diego for the Comic-Con with a side trip to Michigan for two family reunions, a drive up to Niagara Falls, a couple of weekend jaunts including the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Vicksburg, and a December journey to three state capitols (Richmond, Raleigh, and Columbia). I saw sites in 18 states and 3 other countries this year -- the first year I'd been to more than two other countries since we lived in Venezuela when I was a little toddler.
Ego strokes: A photo that I took at the National Archives was used as the author photo on the book jacket for David A. Nichols' "A Matter of Justice: Eisenhower and the Beginning of the Civil Rights Revolution." I became a volunteer photographer at both Sixth and I Historic Synagogue and the Civil War Preservation Trust (later renamed "Civil War Trust")..
Number of photos taken this year: 225,000.
