I ran across this piece from the Smithsonian Magazine that featured a photo
by Flip Schulke.  I remember him from the civil rights era and always liked
his work as a journalist.

I was a student at Louisiana State U. when James Meredith broke the color
barrier at the U. of Mississippi in 1962, so this photo has particular
resonance for me.  Strong content, strong composition and some really great
real-life portraits.  For some reason he doesn't get a lot of mention these
days.
