See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. LOCPAR_150309_010.JPG: The Rosa Parks Collection: In September 2014 the Library of Congress became the new home of the Rosa Parks Collection on a 10-year loan from the Howard G. Buffett Foundation. The Collection (ca 10,000 items) includes personal papers, photographs, books, and awards documenting her private lief and public activism. Born in Tuskegee, Alabama, to James and Leona McCauley, Rosa and her brother Sylvester were reared and educated in rural Pine Level, Alabama, bu their schoolteacher mother and grandparents. When Rosa was eleven, she enrolled in the Montgomery Industrial School for Girls.
2. LOCPAR_150309_012.JPG: She worked as a tailor's assistant at the Montgomery Fair department store. Rosa married Raymond Parks, a barber, in 1932. Rosa and Raymond shared an interest in racial politics. They were early activists in the celebrated Scottsboro Case. In 1943, Rosa became the secretary of the Montgomery NAACP, and in 1949 youth adviser. Under the leadership of Rosa and E.D. Nixon the branch focused on voter registration and cases of racial discrimination and violence. In the summer of 1955 Rosa attended a workshop on desegregation at the Highlander Folk School.
3. LOCPAR_150309_050.JPG: Awards and Honors: Popularly known as the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement," Rosa Parks became an international symbol of strength for oppressed people. She was given many awards and honors, including ten honorary degrees. In 1963, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference inaugurated the Rosa Parks Freedom Award. In the 1970s and 1980s she received the NAACP's Spingarn Medal, the UAW's Social Justice Award, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Nonviolent Peace Prize. In 1991, the Smithsonian unveiled a bust of her. In 1994, the Rosa Park Peace Prize was established in Stockholm, Sweden.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
2015 photos: I retired from the US Census Bureau in god-forsaken Suitland, Maryland on my 58th birthday in May. Yee ha! Trips this year: a quick trip to Florida. two Civil War Trust conferences (Raleigh, NC and Richmond, VA), and my 10th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). Ego Strokes: Carolyn Cerbin used a Kevin Costner photo in her USA Today article. Miss DC pictures were used a few times in the Washington Post. Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: just over 550,000.
