Sports & the Black Community
We caught up with Luther Campbell, aka Uncle Luke, from the notorious
Two Live Crew, while his team was competing in the First
Annual Duke Johnson High School Football 7 on 7 challenge in Miami.
Check out what he and other professional players had to say
about giving back to the community.

Having been recently introduced to art
and the enjoyment of museum going,
you would think that my favorite piece
would be a Lebrun or a Monet, but instead,
down a quiet hallway and to the right, I came
across what initially appeared to be a relatively
mundane courtyard at The Palace de Versailles.
Upon further inspection, I noticed the
perfect color contrasts between the textured
stair landings and the runners, which makes
each step more pronounced. The stone railings
with the marbling clearly visible provides
depth and the weathered gargoyles, which
appear to have been bronze but oxidized to
a light green create a boundary that directs
your sightlines to the stairs, where the aforementioned
texture was captured.
Of the over 1000 photos taken in Paris, this by
far, is my favorite for it shows how beauty can
be found by simply looking for and appreciating
the details.
