Posted in Uncategorized with tags Leica Monochrom (Type-246), Memorial Day, Summilux 21mm, Vietnam Memorial on May 25, 2015 by johnbuckley100In a fantastic piece by Charles Blow in today’s New York Times, Civil War historian David W. Blight is quoted on the solemn event at war’s end when freed African-Americans reburied dead Union prisoners of war, and “staged a parade of 10,000” around the cemetery where they lay.
“After the dedication, the crowd dispersed into the infield and did what many of us do on Memorial Day: enjoyed picnics, listened to speeches, and watched soldiers drill.”
“The war was over,” wrote Blight, “and Memorial Day had been founded by African-Americans in a ritual of remembrance and consecration.”
We thought of these words this morning, at the Vietnam Memorial.
