I'd never seen the Lee Miller photo before! What a powerful message. And the contrasting pics of the current palace and who will be using it a future day are spot on. Our imaginations know no bounds.

Love the image of alligator Alcatraz residents wandering the halls of Mar a Lago and saying “we helped to change this”

I love that photo of her! That scene in the movie is tremendous because they are so filthy before she gets into the tub. This is such a great idea to show the gold palace alongside detention camps.

David! I love this post. Thank you for sharing the powerful photo of Lee Miller. That line about no one being able to to imagine her there in 1942, '43, '44 hit me in the gut (in a good way).

I love that you and I were on the same page this week--thinking about the importance of imagination.
