A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Thanks to JJP reader Craig Hickman for this tip. Here’s the actual photo Colin Powell mentioned in his Meet the Press appearance this am. It’s from a New Yorker photo essay called Service about men and women who volunteered to serve in the military and were sent to Iraq or Afghanistan. And what happened to them.
The caption to Platon’s photo reads:
Elsheba Khan at the grave of her son, Specialist Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan.
