‘Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it. It’s up to all of us – Black, white, everyone – no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own. It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets.’ — Michelle Obama

Marilyn Monroe photographed by John Vachon in Canada, August, 1953.

“One woman asked me how long I thought a whale could remain submerged before it would die. Since I hadn’t the faintest idea, and any guess I might make could look ridiculous in print. I asked her why she wanted me to answer such a strange question. 

‘It’s a kind of intelligence test,’ she said. 

I wondered whose intelligence was at stake–hers or mine. But I learned long ago that you have to take the bad with the good. And that it doesn’t pay to lose your temper when the untruths are printed. Sooner or later, the truth always comes out.”

—Marilyn to Hedda Hopper for Photoplay magazine, January, 1953.

Marilyn Monroe photographed in one of her first shoots with Milton H. Greene, for Look’s November issue, in September, 1953. She was thrilled when she saw the magazine and sent him a dozen roses as a thank you.
