not an archive, just a fun photo

Façade of a pastel blue house with white trim and dark brown, stained wooden doors and shutters; three upstairs and three down. In front of it is an orange plastic barricade, faded to a nearly pastel shade by the sun. The neighboring house is a pastel lemon yellow, with white trim. In front of both is a bright yellow SUV, painted in two tones, with a white roof. There's a green, 19th-centuryish wrought iron streetlamp in the foreground. This is a street photo I took in San Juan.

I keep looking at this, expecting it to vanish like a heat-induced road mirage, and it keeps staying the way it is.

Q: It was close to succeeding; and then you guys were stabbed in the back.

A: Exactly. And we don’t understand why. You understand that they are Nazis. What happened to you?

Marian Anderson singing at the Lincoln Memorial in 1939, where she was introduced by Interior Secretary Harold Ickes; this was after the DAR wouldn’t let her sing at Constitution Hall and Eleanor Roosevelt protested.
