    Kevin Carter

    Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph made by Kevin Carter in 1993 I decided to describe the story behind this photograph, because of two reasons. The first one is a book I am reading now: ‘The Bang - Bang Club’. Kevin Carter - the author of this photograph belonged to this four-member club of South African photographers. The second reason is that this is an important moment in documentary photograhy. This photograph was taken during the Sudan Famine in 1993. The picture depicts a hunger stricken child crawling towards a United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away. The child is dying and he won’t make it to the camp. In the background a vulture is waiting for the child to die so it can eat him. The photographer waited for the vulture to spread its wings over the child, but it didn’t happen. Nevertheless, this picture shocked the whole world in 1993. As it turned out, it also took another death-toll - three months after taking the shot Kevin Carter, aged 33, committed suicide due to depression. The photograph first appeared in New York Times on March 26, 1993 and was reproduced in many other newspapers around the world. After the publication lots of people contacted the Times to ask about the fate of the boy. His fate was unknown, but it was almost impossible for him to have reached the feeding center. In 1994, the photograph won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography. It wasn’t the most shocking scene in Carter’s career, as he had been working ear-…

Dr. Woodson, Known formally as “The Father of Black History”, was the first son out of nine children born to former slaves, Anna Eliza & James Woodson in 1875 in New Canton, Virginia. At a young age, Dr. Woodson would work as a sharecropper and a miner just so that he could help provide for his family. He attended High School in West Virginia in his late teen years at the age of 20. Dr. Woodson excelled during high school, which resulted in him graduating and receiving his high school diploma from a 4-year school in just 2 years. Dr. Woodson then attended the University of Chicago. Before he attended the University of Chicago, (where he received his bachelor’s and master’s degree) Dr. Woodson Berea College in Kentucky where he worked for the U.S. government as an education superintendent in the Philippines. In 1912, Dr. Woodson then attended Harvard University, where he would then receive his doctorate’s degree; thus becoming the second African American to earn a Ph.D. after W.E.B. Du Bois. After schooling, Dr. Woodson then turns his direction towards the field of African American history in hopes that this subject was taught in schools and studied by scholars. Three years after receiving his doctorate’s Woodson helped find the Association for the Study of Negro Life & History. This program had the goal of placing African-Americans historical contributions front and center. It was not until 1916, when Dr. Woodson established the Journal of Negro History, a scholarly publication. In 1921, Woodson formed the African-American owned Association publishers press; this led to his publication of more than a dozen books over the years. In 1926 during the month of February, Woodson brought together many organizations to partake in a program, which surrounded the study of African-American history, with Negro history…

    Mike Kryzewski is arguable the best coach that the NCAA men’s basketball program has ever seen. This was established way before his team’s victory to clinch the NCAA national championship in 2010, making it Coach K’s fourth all time championship. This is a feat among its self. He joins a league of only two other coaches to accomplish this task, John Wooden with 10 and Adolph Rupp with also 4. Coach K’s legacy had made so many impressions on players, parents, and fans and they all know that he isn’t just a basketball coach. He is a mentor and teaches kids things that they can carry on for the rest of their lives. Coach K wants the best out of the kids that he coaches. He gets the most out of them, both physically and mentally. Also not only does he expect them to perform well on the basketball court, but also in the class room, as he has a 98% graduating rate of his players.…

    Set in 1971 Alexandria, Virginia; High school football is the town's most popular sport. The school board is under a court order to integrate the public schools. In the process of integration, tension amongst individual in school becomes high. This film is a perfect concoction of two elements: a coup of an underdog sports team and a successful assimilation of high school football team in general. The interaction of two coaches, a black and a white, is quite a challenging part. Both Coach Boone and Coach Yoast had struggle to overcome their personal dilemma and worked for the betterment of their team. Although reluctant at first, Yoast accepted the demotion and conspired with Boone to produce a winning team! The sub-story between Gerry Bertier, Titan's white team captain, and Julius Campbell, an aptitude black player is also remarkable. It confirms that strong friendship can be forged despite the racial hatred plaguing the community.…
