Sunday morning. For posterity

Description

Saving books and other cultural items for posterity is what the Library of Congress is all about -- and the many ways it does so is the story reporter Martha Teichner has to tell. The difference between Carol Highsmith and the rest of the thicket of photographers in Washington, clicking away at the cherry blossoms, is that her images of this particular moment in time -- a sunny morning in April, 2013 -- will be preserved for posterity. Which is exactly what the Library of Congress is about: preserving the past and the present for the future.
