That's because I don't know who you are.

But in the comments, Anonymous pointed out that a documentary on Shirley Chisolm's run for the Presidency will be run on PBS during (you guessed it) Black History month. The film's director, Shola Lynch, had a live chat today at the Washington Post, and an interview in September at blackfilm.com.

You know the deal with checking your local PBS station for scheduling.

And obviously I found a photograph of Ms. Chisolm I really like. It was at the blackfilms.com site; that's a thumbnail. You should check the full size one on the other side of the link.

And let me tell you what I like about it. It's recent.

When people pass away, folks go find a picture for the program that everyone recognizes and usually shows a person pretty close to their prime. In fact, you'll probably see a lot of this one.>>

Nothing wrong with it. Nothing wrong with immortalizing their youth once they aren't with us anymore.

But time and life changes people. You wear your life's learning in your body. So though it's not wrong, I don't feel it memorializes the person's whole life.

Ms. Chisolm's picture up there...that would properly memorialize a life. My opinion, of course.
