colorization of Lewis Powell's mug shot

[L Verge]

I can only make one observation, based on my experiences years ago as a teacher: Even fifty years ago, students (and I suspect the general public) wanted color in their lives -- and that included historical photos, films, slides, etc. I can still hear the groans when I turned on a projector and the film was in black and white!

We live in a world of color, and in my opinion, if adding color makes historical events more interesting to the people in our world today, bring on the color.
