A signed nude photograph of Jackie Kennedy Onassis has been found among Andy Warhol's possessions. The photo, which show the former first lady skinny dipping, is signed "For Andy, with enduring affection, Jackie Montauk"— a reference to the artist's beach front estate in Montauk, on Long Island.

The revealing photograph was discovered by archivists sifting through 610 cardboard boxes, filing cabinets and a shipping container that belonged to the pop artist.

The archivists, hired with $600,000 from the Andy Warhol Foundation and several other smaller grants, have six years to comb through everything from taxi cab receipts to fan mail, meticulously cataloguing, photographing and, when possible, researching the often bizarre items before entering them into a database.

Is Black Music month necessary?

Yes. Its important to highlight Black artists.

No. Black music tops every month anyway.

Maybe, if it funds Black kids' music education.

I don't care, the WH should focus on more important things.
