Ansel Adams was a prominent photographer born on this day in 1902. His work covered a broad range, highlighting the beauty of and the injustices of Japanese Internment during WWII.

The timelessness of Adams’ work was captured through the focused black & white style he favored. The images he captured illustrated the importance of our nation’s wild places, emphasizing the significance of preserving them for future generations.

This image is not Adams’ works but the winning photo from our giveaway that we felt best captured the essence of his photographs. Congratulations to Rebecca Fellers Photo & Video for being our winner!

DID YOU KNOW? In 1948, Mary Dee made on-air history as the first African-American female DJ! Beginning her career at WHOD along with her brother Mal Goode, whom we featured last week, she spent 8 years giving listeners a taste of great music and kept them up-to-date on what was going on in the community. Dee had the opportunity to interview well-rounded individuals like Nat King Cole, Eartha Kitt, and Tony Bennett.

She even became a mentor for young people in the industry, distributing hundreds of records, and was able to advise a young George Benson at the start of his career! With a lasting legacy, she was one of two black females inducted into the Association of American Women in Radio and Television. We salute you, Mary!
