MBP of the Week: Time.com

Thanks to commenter “maria” for pointing out this Misidentified Black Person, which can be found in the Paul Newman memorial photo gallery at Time.com.

Double-click the image above for a larger look, if you have trouble reading the caption.

Now, I don’t know who “Charles Welhan” is supposed to be. But the gentleman on Mr. Newman’s right in this photo is, of course, U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young.

    ^ Hee-hee...

    But I bet there's some young'uns out there, JJBrock, who wouldn't know Andy Young if they bumped into him on the street.

    ^ Yeah, dude, but Time or no Time, I bet on the Web side of things, some 25-year-old put that "photo gallery" together.

    Checking around on the net it appears that Andrew Young was UN Ambassador from 1977-79. HTF does someone confuse him at a UN General Assembly meeting???
