Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

(And she threw in a little salt for the evil ones, too)

Professor Kelley Wilder leaves De Montfort University Professor Kelley Wilder, director of De Montfort University’s (DMU) Photographic History Research Centre (PHRC) is leaving  the university at the end of this month as the university concludes a wider ...

The fact that Kelley has had to leave it's an absolute disgrace and a testament of the state of the university. PHRC will continue, in spite of all, but this is outrageous britishphotohistory.ning.com/profiles/blo...
