Throwback Tuesday

(photos by Charles Caldwell) 

My brother-in-law Charles, who got back into photography recently, dug up a ton of his negatives of from the mid- to late 1970s. What a blast. Above is a young Nikki Giovanni speaking at Iowa State University. I think I found some images of activist Dick Gregory as well. Many of the images he took were in and around Chicago's Harlan High School while he was a student there.

Hell yeah....These pictures are great. I hop ethe pictures I take today will look this cool 30 years from now. What great exposure and crispness these photos have.

Terrific photos, and I especially like seeing older Iowa State ones. (My dad retired after 39 years teaching there.) I was looking at some old calendars at my parents' and they had a Dick Gregory talk written down, so I imagine they got to some of these same events...
