My personal notes for The Picture and the Frame
A talk by Nikkita Oliver I attended at TEDxSeattle
When we look at a photo, we miss what happens outside of it. Rosa Parks may have refused to sit down, but we don't see the years of struggle that lead up to that point. We don't see her getting fired from her job, or hear the death threats she received for years afterwards.
A picture is worth a thousand words, but it is the frame that makes all the difference.
