Gerald Martineau's May 4 front-page photograph heralding Queen Elizabeth II's arrival in Richmond for the 400th-anniversary celebration of Jamestown's founding was graceful and beautiful, as it showed young people buzzing with excitement and vying to get a good shot of the queen. Yet the picture lacked one thing: It did not represent America. Or maybe it did.
This colorful picture was colorless. As far as I could see, there were no Hispanics or African Americans in the crowd. And this was in Richmond, where the mayor, former Virginia governor L. Douglas Wilder, is African American. This is not the color of America.
