It is highly possible that this is my favorite photograph ever.

A self-described “visual anthropologist” and social explorer, 27-year-old photographer Umair Jangda has created a remarkable series of images based on a simple, sneakily powerful concept: namely, that photographing Muslims of different ages and backgrounds dressed in both contemporary clothes and in traditional Islamic attire might well be one way to alter the perception of Islam in the West.

“After a bit of a false start with this project,” Jangda told LIFE.com, “I realized that, ironically, I needed to show the stereotype [of how Muslims appear to Western eyes] in order to to battle that stereotype.

LIFE.com presents a selection of images from Jangda’s work-in-progress: The Muslim Behind Islam.

THE BIG PICTURE

The Occupy Wall Street movement spreads

- What started in New York City in mid September, a call to “flood lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street,” has continued to feed similar groups around the United States taking up the name and cause. (35 photos)

Reblogging because I like Occupy Wall Street and I like The Big Picture feauture and I like this photo and I don’t like the enormous photo of George W. Bush that’s currently dominating my blog.

Also I’m really excited because I think my school paper might be doing something about Occupy Baltimore, if we can dig up names of any students who’ve attended other than the news staff. So, yeah, if you attended or will be attending any Occupy event and you got to Dulaney, let me know.

  “A Man Was Lynched Yesterday”

The NAACP (National Organization for the Advancement of Colored People) would hang a banner from its offices in New York City the day after these horrible events to alert people of the city to what had happened.

Date: 1938

Perhaps it’s time to bring it back . If those Wall Street protesters are still out in force, it would be incredibly symbolic to see this flag flying in the heart of the financial district. 

I would start bawling in the streets if I saw one of these. Powerful.
