life: In spirit of the holidays, boy oh boy do we have a special treat for you… Over a career spanning more than 60 years, Billy Graham has preached the Gospel to an estimated 200 million people around the world — in person — another two billion via radio, TV, movies, and the Internet, and has ministered to a dozen U.S. presidents. Throughout the decades, Graham enjoyed a special relationship with LIFE magazine, which published his essays and followed him on more than a few of his travels. Many of the LIFE photos from those journeys captured the public man, but the private Graham seen in these previously unpublished pictures — of Graham relaxing with his family, preaching one-on-one to the world’s most powerful people and to the poorest of the poor, wrestling with God on the golf course — may prove something of a minor revelation.

commanderspock: ellephanta  | brain-food Here is a Georgia State Trooper in riot gear at a KKK protest in a north Georgia city back in the 80s. The Trooper is black. Standing in front of him and touching his shield is a curious little boy dressed in a Klan hood and robe. I have stared at this picture and wondered what must have been going through that Trooper’s mind. Before the Trooper is an innocent child who is being taught to hate him because of the color of his skin. The child doesn’t understand what he is being taught, and at this point he doesn’t seem to care. Like any other child his curiosity takes hold and he wants to explore this new thing that this man is holding probably because he can see his reflection in it and that’s a neat thing and he wants to check it out. In this picture I see innocence mixed with hate, the irony of a black man protecting the right of white people to assemble in protest against him, temperance in the face of ignorance, and hope that racism can be broken because this young boy may remember that a black man smiled at him once and he didn’t seem so bad after all.  (Picture source)(Paragraph source)
