Cotton gin, Mound Bayou | by ADMurr

Cotton Gin, Mound Bayou [MS]. I was shooting on the other side of the street when a middle-aged African American man in a dusty pickup stopped and rolled down his window. "Take of picture of that one," he suggested in a friendly tone that somehow carried an undertone that I'd be an idiot and an ingrate to ignore his advice. "My family built that." The gin's shut but the fellow was clearly proud and wanted the white tourist to understand that pride of history. Gins were economic hubs in the first half of the 20th century and the number of black owned gins in Mississippi was no doubt very small. The number was not small in Mound Bayou, though.

North Korea's 'pink lady': the newscaster set to announce the end of the world

'The apocalypse will be televised, and it will be presented by a pink-clad North Korean woman announcing the news at a near scream.

'Ri Chun-hee is the most prominent face on the North’s Korean Central Television, appearing nearly every time the country takes a step towards fulfilling its nuclear ambitions, delivering the state’s proclamations in a booming voice and brimming with gusto.

'“The test of a hydrogen bomb designed to be mounted on our intercontinental ballistic missile was a perfect success,” Ri said this weekend, as she quaked with excitement in reporting North Korea’s most powerful nuclear detonation yet.'
