ATIT Reheated, from 2012: Images of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

By Jack Brummet, History Editor


If you run a search on Martin Luther King, Jr. images, you come up with millions of hits.  Of these, there is a core group of about fifty or so that are ubiquitous.   Here are some of our favorite photos of MLK, along with some of the many hundreds of postage stamps created in his honor; a couple of shots of the MLK memorial in Washington, D.C.; and a short video on the National Archives holdings of MLK photographs.

Two uneasy partners:  Martin with his frenemy; President Lyndon Baines Johnson










 One more shot of LBJ/MLK

I have never been able to find out more about this photo. I don't 
really know if Martin knew his way around a pool table or not...


What if?

Jesse Jackson, Joan Baez, Ira Sandperl, and MLK.  This shot was taken at a 1964 free speech event.

Cyclothymic Disorder

By Jack Brummet

In cyclothymia, "moods swing between short periods of mild depression and an elevated mood." That feels like Bipolar-Lite. 

Cyclothymic Disorder, if I'm getting it, is the homo sapien factory setting, right? Else-wise, aren't we emotionally flatlining?

It is estimated that less than 1% of the population experience this disorder, but everyone I have ever known (aside from a few possessing different disorders altogether) up to and including myself, seems to experience this regularly.  And it feels normal, mostly.

I have a lot of mental health professional/social work friends...is it really a separate disorder; is it something on the low end of a bipolar spectrum; and, does it really matter since,  if we all experience this, isn't that more a baseline than a disorder?
