Black Excellence On Display: The Million Man March of SC
Updated: Jun 17, 2020
The date is Sunday June 14, 2020 but I felt like it could have been August 28, 1963. The atmosphere is charged with an overwhelmingly positive and powerful energy. The scent of sweet perfumes and colognes permeate the air. Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech plays over the speakers. When I look around I see thousands of men, women and children who look like me in every direction dressed to their nines. This is not a sight that has been common for me in my life outside of church and entertainment venues. The organizers are black, the volunteers are black, a lot of the law enforcement members providing security are black and I'm not the only black photographer in attendance trying to tell the story. I am emotional but I am at peace. The Million Man March of SC, which was spearheaded by Rise of a Nation organizer Leo Jones, was created around the idea of displaying black excellence and demanding positive change and social justice for African Americans. It paid homage to the Million Man March of 1995 which was organized by Louis Farrakhan and held in Washington D.C. The march which was 1.4 miles in its entirety started at Columbia's Martin Luther King Jr. Park (2300 Greene St.) and ended at the South Carolina State House. It was truly a beautiful event. When it comes to photojournalism I normally keep to the basics and keep my editing very light. For this event, I felt like monochrome images would better portray the scene and give a feeling that that one could contrast with the civil rights marches and movements of the 60s. One thing is very clear, we have come a long way but we still have a long way to go. (All)Black Lives Matter. Photos: Before The March

The data date determines the point at which a particular programme update represents project progress. Reviewing this timing through programme impact analysis can help establish whether an event was reflected in the schedule at the appropriate reporting stage. Comparing data dates across successive updates can reveal when a change first appeared in the programme. It can also prevent confusion when an event occurred between two reporting periods. A consistent approach to status dates makes historical programme comparisons easier to understand. The College of Contract Management provides forensic schedule analysis training for professionals interested in developing stronger schedule investigation skills. Those who regularly review programme updates may find this course a useful addition to their professional learning. If you are considering enrolment…
The choice to render these images in monochrome is striking, and your reasoning about echoing the civil rights photography of the 1960s makes sense. I wonder, though, whether black-and-white risks flattening the specific joy and style you describe, like the perfumes, colognes, and people dressed to their nines. Does removing color make the present feel more like the past than it actually is? I'd be curious how the same scenes read in color.

I have been looking into surveying lately, and one thing that stood out is how the subject brings together construction knowledge and financial planning. For anyone researching hnd surveying, it can be useful to look beyond measurements and explore estimating, tendering, valuations, procurement, and cost reporting too. Those areas give a clearer idea of what quantity surveyors can be involved with during a project. I also think understanding drawings, specifications, and contract information can make the wider subject easier to follow. When comparing courses, checking the actual modules can tell you much more than the course title alone. The College of Contract Management is one educational resource worth checking, particularly for its Quantity Surveyor Course. If the subjects line up…
