"Join us for a virtual talk conversation between Refracting Histories artist Aaron Turner and photography scholar Shawn Michelle Smith. Turner and Smith will discuss Frederick Douglass as the most photographed person of the 19th century, as well as his prescient views on the power of photography for shattering false narratives. Smith is professor of visual and critical studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois."

Nine
I took the photo (below) almost 3 years ago when I was visiting Washington DC for a professional conference. Because of the historical significance of today's Senate vote, I thought it would be appropriate to repost it today, accompanied by a timely quote from the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
“When I'm sometimes asked when will there be enough [women on the Supreme Court] and I say, 'When there are nine,' people are shocked. But there'd been nine men, and nobody's ever raised a question about that.” ― Ruth Bader Ginsburg
