The 40-Year-Old Photo That Gives Us A Reason To Smile

A most appropriate song for the occasion...

...performed by Three Dog Night:

Black and White
(YouTube Video...Featuring a Slideshow)
(YouTube Video...Song Performed by "The Old Dogs")

The ink is black
The page is white
Together we learn to read and write
The child is black
The child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight
The beautiful sight

And now a child can understand
That this is the law of all the land
All the land

The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day and then by night
The child is black
The child is white
Together they grow to see the light
To see the light

And now at last we plainly see
We'll have a dance of liberty

The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day and then by night
The child is black
The child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight
The beautiful sight

The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day and then by night
The child is black
The child is white
Together they grow to see the light
To see the light

(repeat last two verses)
