"Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words."

Images have become an essential element in marketing and branding identities. These images not only capture moments in history but reveal a truth that reflects and extends beyond that event. These images are reflections of my current research project which examines postwar New York City urban youth culture.
Below is a news segment that demonstrates how urban fashion and culture (driven largely by racial minorities) are influencing Parisian culture.
Renowned historian, Lawrence Levine (1933-2006), a champion for multicultural perspectives on history from the ground up, reflects on his interaction and response to criticism of the contemporary University.
In support of Lawrence Levine and his efforts to champion diverse perspectives in history from the ground up, I have created a hashtag to spread awareness of documenting one's history and seizing control of their legacy. Please encourage everyone you know to write biographies, keep journals, document important moments and create digital lockboxes so that your legacy can be preserved and represented in your own words and shared with future generations. Everyone has a history and amazing stories to tell. History should be told from the bottom up. Document yours now! #seemyhistory.
