A few nice History images I found:

Taken at the Butterfly Alive exhibit at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History www.sbnature.org/exhibits/butterflies/. Most of the butterflies in Butterfly Pavilion are native to the state of Florida, with a few exceptions. You can walk through the Pavilion experiencing the butterflies as they land on nearby Florida native flowers and if you stand still they will take rest on you. Taken with Canon 1D Mark III w/300mm f/2.8 L IS + 25mm +12mm extension tubes.
This was a few stops underexposed so I used the Adjustment Brush in Adobe ACR 5.3 to brush in back lit effects as well as adding color to the flower and accents to the pedals.
057/365: The Light of History
Image by malik ml williams
Let the light of history enable us to see that "enough of good there is in the lowest estate to sweeten life; enough of evil in the highest to check presumption; enough there is of both in all estates to bind us in compassionate brotherhood, to teach us impressively that we are of one dying and one immortal family." Let truth destroy the dividing prejudices of nationality and teach universal love without distinction of race, merit or rank. With the sublime enthusiasm and heavenly vision of the Great Teacher let us help men to rise above the race hate of this age unto the altruism of a rejuvenated universe.
Martin Luther King Jr.? No. Carter G. Woodson, speaking a generation earlier. This quote was taken from an address at the first observance of Negro History Week in 1926. It is a portion of a speech printed in The Journal of Negro History, a publication founded by Woodson in 1916, ten years prior to that first celebration.
The journal is now known as the Journal of African American History (JAAH), published by the similarly named Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH, formerly the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History).
Sad that this organization and its publication have been in existence for almost 100 years, and i never head of either before today. Sad, too, that the effects of Hurricane Katrina, and its impact on the journal's Dillard University home in particular, have forced the journal to process its submissions through the ASALH offices in Washington, DC. I do not know how much damage was done to their archives; i can only hope the history stored there survived.
And 100 years from now, i wonder how the light of history will shine upon this generation....
