So Sammy Davis Jr. was a photographer



So while waiting for the girl at Borders in the Financial District i noticed this big tabletop book with the words "Photo by Sammy Davis Jr." Who knew that Davis was an avid photographer who spent thousands on cameras and equipment. and with the access he had, which was not the norm for a black man in 50s and 60s, he took some intimate shots of the it personalities including of course the rat pack.

Genarlow Wilson stil isn't free



I was alerted to this article and was shocked to find out that Wilson, a Georgia teen was still rotting in jail. After all the media attention from Oprah and others in favor of freeing Wilson, and being acquitted all the rape charges except for child molestation, his life is still in the hands of Georgia lawmakers and enforcers.

And it's all because he had consensual oral sex at the age of 17 with a girl of 15 years of age, in a state that is still very racist and sticks to laws that need to be changed.I don't like to always put race in this but the girl was white (who said it was consensual) and he is...

Tell me what you think. He deserves it? or not?
