BBC slideshow: African elders

By ⋅ January 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s an old adage that a picture is worth a thousand (or ten thousand) words. Let’s not haggle over whether it’s an ancient Chinese proverb, or from a 1921 article by Fred R. Barnard in the trade journal Printer’s Ink.The point is that images have the ability to make us laugh, cry, ask questions and stare in wonder. We here in the London office of The World found these images of elders sent in to the BBC by online visitors from Africa especially compelling. Take a look.
